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.
