Manuscript Withdrawal

Manuscript Withdrawal

Authors are not permitted to withdraw manuscripts that have already been submitted, as the submission process includes an agreement that the article is not currently under review or scheduled for publication in another journal. Furthermore, such a withdrawal wastes the valuable time of the editor and reviewers. The editor and reviewers have spent significant time processing the submitted manuscript, and the publisher has invested both resources and effort.

If an author still requests to withdraw their manuscript while it is still undergoing peer review, the author will be fined Rp 500,000 per manuscript as a withdrawal penalty to the publisher. However, it is unethical to withdraw a manuscript submitted to one journal if it has been accepted by another journal. If a manuscript is withdrawn after it has been accepted for publication, the author will be fined Rp 700,000 per manuscript. Withdrawal of a manuscript is only permitted after the withdrawal penalty has been paid in full to the publisher.

If the author refuses to pay the fine, the author and their affiliation will be blacklisted from publishing in this journal.
