Withdrawal Policy

Authors may request withdrawal of a manuscript before publication by submitting a written request to the Editorial Office.

The request should include the manuscript title, corresponding author's name, and reason for withdrawal.

Withdrawal requests will be considered by the Editorial Board.

Once an article has been formally published, it cannot normally be withdrawn simply because the author has changed their mind. Post-publication concerns will be dealt with through the journal's correction, expression-of-concern, and retraction procedures, as appropriate.
