Deletion of the user account / submitted / published articles

If you wish to delete your user account, all personal data in your user account for all journals in the BieJournals system will be deleted. The deletion cannot be reversed! If you only wish to delete your user account for this journal, this is only possible if you have created another user ID for other journals in the BieJournals system.

All articles submitted by you - accepted / published and rejected / not published - will remain in the system and will continue to be assigned to your name for technical and organizational reasons. All messages sent by you via the system remain in the system and are assigned to the local system administrator. Subsequent deletion of individual messages for the purpose of scientific documentation in accordance with good scientific practice is only possible after the maximum retention period of 10 years has expired. Subsequent deletion of submitted (non-published) articles including all messages assigned to the submission is only possible in justified exceptional cases. Subsequent deletion of articles that have already been published is excluded, unless there is an obvious error in the publication of the article.
