Withdrawal Policy

Manuscripts may be withdrawn before the first round of review by submitting a written request to the Editorial Office, signed by all authors, and mentioning the reason for withdrawal. After receiving the request, the Editorial Board will consider the reasons of withdrawal. In case of an acceptable reason, the author is allowed to withdraw the manuscript. When the reason is not well explained or acceptable, the Journal will not accept any manuscripts from the same author for the next 12 months. When a manuscript has taken more than 4 months to complete the first round of review, the authors are allowed to withdraw the manuscript. Authors must not assume that their manuscript has been withdrawn until they have received appropriate notification from the Editorial Office.
