Withdrawal of Manuscripts

Withdrawal of Manuscripts

Manuscript withdrawal is strongly discouraged. It is a waste of valuable resources that the publisher put. If the author still requests withdrawal of their manuscript, the following guidelines have to be followed

  • Manuscript withdrawal will be permitted only for the most compelling and unavoidable reasons. It is unacceptable to withdraw a manuscript from a journal because another journal is accepting it;
  • The author should submit a request to the editorial office as a letter signed by all authors stating the complete cause that led to the step of manuscript withdrawal;
  • Authors must not assume that their manuscript has been withdrawn until they have received appropriate notification to this effect from the editorial office.
