Withdrawal of Manuscripts
Withdrawal before publication
Authors may withdraw their manuscript from Wiyata: Journal of Multidisciplinary Research at any stage before it is published: initial screening, peer review, revision, or after acceptance. Withdrawal after acceptance should only happen for strong reasons, since editors and reviewers have already invested time in the manuscript.
Withdrawal procedure
- The corresponding author sends a written withdrawal request to the editor through the system or the editorial email ([email protected]), stating the manuscript title, submission number, and the reason for withdrawal.
- The request must be agreed by all authors.
- The withdrawal takes effect once the editor confirms it in writing. Until then the manuscript remains under consideration at Wiyata: Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and must not be submitted to another journal.
The editor may return or reject a manuscript before publication if a breach of publication ethics is found, such as plagiarism or duplicate submission. Such cases are handled under the Publication Ethics policy.
After publication
A published article cannot be withdrawn at the author's request. Errors or problems in published articles are handled under the Corrections & Retractions policy.
