Abstract
The Editorial Board of the scientific journal “Journal of Mining Institute” hereby notifies of the retraction of the article Mitusova T.N., Kondrasheva N.K., Lobashova M.M., Ershov M.A., Rudko V.A. Influence of dispersing additives and blend composition on stability of marine high-viscosity fuels. Journal of Mining Institute. 2017. Vol. 228, p. 722-725. DOI: 10.25515/PMI.2017.6.722 URL (accessed 15.06.2026) Retraction date: 07.07.2026.
Initiator of the retraction: Editorial Board of the Journal of Mining Institute.
Reason for the retraction: identification of violations of publication ethics – detection of duplicate publications, as well as manipulation of authorship.
Mitusova T.N., Kondrasheva N.K., Lobashova M.M., Ershov M.A., Rudko V.A., Titarenko M.A. Determination and Improvement of Stability of High-Viscosity Marine Fuels. Chemistry and Technology of Fuels and Oils. 2017. N 6 (604), p. 22-24. URL (accessed 15.06.2026) The retracted publication does not have a link to the published version of the article.
Basis for retraction: Editorial Board decision, proceedings N 45 dated 07.07.2026.
Authors’ comment: the author (Rudko V.A.) does not deny the existence of significant textual and substantive overlaps between the two articles published in different journals. The author states that the co-authors from the Mining University (Rudko V.A. and Kondrasheva N.K.) were unaware of the work with other journal and the inclusion of a new co-author. The duplicate publication occurred due to uncoordinated actions by the author team.
No comments were received from the remaining co-authors.
None
