Manuscript Withdrawal Policy
In the event that you decide to withdraw a paper, please remember that the editor, reviewers and editorial assistants may have already put in a significant amount of time and effort. When a paper is in the latter stages of peer review, there is an increased ethical concern about withdrawing it. The ethical implications of withdrawing a manuscript become more severe as peer review of the paper progresses. If there is anything that can be done on our end to prevent the withdrawal, we would appreciate you letting us know before you go ahead with the withdrawal. We are delighted to collaborate with authors to eliminate any barriers to publishing and would welcome the opportunity to do so.
Process to withdraw
Once the authors have contemplated withdrawing a submission due to financial constraints, conflicts of interest, Revision decision with extensive comments (feels they cannot respond to reviewer comments), Journal delay, problems in manuscript, Accidental duplicate submission, Discovery of ethical misconduct, and any other reason, please complete the following actions.
