Manuscript Withdrawal Policy

Withdrawal Before Review

Authors may request withdrawal prior to peer review. Written confirmation from all authors is required.

Withdrawal During Review

Requests during review must have a valid reason. The journal may deny withdrawal if a final decision is imminent.

Withdrawal After Acceptance

Withdrawal post-acceptance is discouraged. In exceptional cases, authors may be asked to cover processing costs already incurred.

Ethical Violations

If withdrawal involves unethical practices (e.g., plagiarism or simultaneous submission), the journal may:
• Reject the manuscript permanently
• Notify affiliated institutions
• Restrict future submissions

Unresponsive Authors

If authors fail to respond during revisions or production, the manuscript may be marked as:
“Withdrawn by Editorial Decision.”
Repeated occurrences may result in submission restrictions.
