Article Withdrawal Regulations

• Withdrawal is an action that takes the manuscript out of the
review process and places it back into the author's dashboard.
Generally, we do not suggest the article withdrawal, since it
wastes valuable manuscript processing time, cost and works
spent by the publisher.

• Article withdrawal is applied to submitted papers either within
peer review process or accepted for publication that is for the
moment only available in a pre-publication form (“Early Release
or Ahead of Print”). These sometimes contain errors or are
articles that may have already been published and then
mistakenly resubmitted for publication elsewhere. Articles may
also be retracted to allow authors to correct any errors that had
not been identified before submission.

Withdrawal Steps

• Pre-Review: is a period at which the author(s) submit(s) her/his
article to be reviewed. The author(s) can withdraw their papers
at this step without paying any charges and/or posing
compelling reasons.
• Peer-Review: is a period at which the manuscript is submitted
completely to the website and is included in the review
process. The authors must have compelling reasons.
• Review-Final Decision: is a period from the acceptance of an
article until to be sent for publication if the article meets the
journal standards. The authors should have their compelling reasons.
• Post-Publication: when a paper is published (online and/or hard
copy). Withdrawing at this step is not possible.

Republishing

Republishing is regarded as Plagiarism in IMJPL. The journal explicitly
instructs authors not to submit papers or variations of papers that have
already been published elsewhere even in other languages, especially,
those articles which are published in local journals (in local languages)
are not permitted to be submitted to this journal.
