Manuscript Withdrawal

 

Withdrawing submitted or published manuscripts is not recommended. If the authors intend to withdraw the manuscript, the following rules must be followed:

  1. The authors may only withdraw the manuscript before its publication for acceptable reasons such as journal delay, problems in the manuscript, multiple accidental submissions, or discovery of ethical misconduct. It is unethical to withdraw a manuscript because it is being accepted in another journal.  
  2. The authors must send a letter requesting the withdrawal of the manuscript to the chief editor, along with the reasons for withdrawal. The request to withdraw the manuscript must be known by all authors, as evidenced by the signature.
  3. If the withdrawn manuscript is being reviewed, the authors must pay 500,000 IDR.
  4. If any ethical misconduct is found in the published manuscript and causes the manuscript to be withdrawn, the authors must pay 1,000,000 IDR.  
  5. If the review process for the manuscript takes more than 3 months, the authors can withdraw the manuscript without paying any charge.
