Withdrawal Policy

Every now and then, an author may wish to withdraw a manuscript after submitting it. Author has the full right to change one’s perspective. An author is liable to withdraw an article at no charge as long as it is withdrawn within 7 days of its initial submission. Once the article is acknowledged/accepted in the peer review process, author has to pay 50% of the APC to withdraw manuscript (for the time and resources used).

As per other open access journals, we offer a flat fee submission structure (depending on the journal) on the acceptance of a peer-reviewed article, which covers in part the entirety of the publication pathway (the article processing charge). The procedure incorporates our support, maintenance, submission and peer review evaluation and worldwide editing, publication and submission to global indexing and tracking organizations and archiving to permit access to the entire article and related supplementary reports. We also have to ensure enough investment to secure a symbiotic and sustainable model which is legally, ethically and financially stable.

To dodge unnecessary withdrawal of manuscripts, Athenaeum Scientific Publisher has pronounced the accompanying withdrawal policy. The corresponding author or co-authors ought to acknowledge the underneath proclamations before sending a solicitation for withdrawal.

All authors including the corresponding and co-authors sought to confirm the number of authors, authorship, and approval and integrity of the manuscript before submission. In case of any differences of opinion, the concerns of all the authors must be addressed before submitting the manuscript for publishing in the journal.

Academic research students or researchers should take prior permission from their guides and professors or the concerned authority before sending/submitting their manuscripts to Athenaeum Scientific Publishers journals.

Authors sought to follow the publication ethics.

In case of previously published article, manuscript should be withdrawn appropriately from any previous publisher before submitting in our journals.

It is impermissible to withdraw a manuscript from the journal because it is being accepted by another journal.

Authors should confirm that the facts and data presented in the manuscripts are accurate and error-free, before submitting the manuscript.

Corresponding and all co-authors should be agreed for publishing the articles on a specific journal before submission.

Unethical Withdrawal

In case author decides to withdraw a manuscript after publication, the article publication charges, if paid by the authors, will not be refunded.

Withdrawal of the submitted manuscript at an advanced stage in the editorial process, such as when peer reviews are close to completion, is unacceptable unless there are irresistible reasons.

If the authors do not respond to the communication from the editorial office, even after multiple reminders, at any stage of the publication process; Athenaeum Scientific Publisher Journals holds all authority and rights to disclose the conduct of the authors and content of the manuscript without any further approval from the authors, and an onus of any consequences arising from it, Athenaeum Scientific Publisher cannot be held responsible for the same.

Withdrawal of a manuscript will be allowed distinctly for the most convincing and unavoidable reasons. For withdrawal, authors need to submit an “Article Withdrawal Form”, signed by all authors referencing the explanation behind withdrawal to the Editorial Office. The withdrawal form is available from the editorial office of the journal. Authors must not assume that their manuscript has been withdrawn until they have received proper notice to this effect from the editorial office.

If there is a case where a manuscript has taken more than six months’ time for the review process, the author can withdraw the manuscript without paying any sort of charges.

Manuscript Withdrawal Charges

Author is allowed to withdraw a manuscript without paying any withdrawal penalty, if the author(s) requests a withdrawal of manuscript within 7 days of submission.

In a case the author(s) requests a withdrawal of the manuscript after the initiation or completion of peer review process or in the production stage (Early Release or Ahead of publishing) or after online publishing; then authors would have to pay a withdrawal charges only then the request will be processed.

Athenaeum Scientific Publisher Journal Editorial Office will provide the corresponding author a formal letter of Manuscript Withdrawal. Withdrawal of manuscripts is only allowed after the withdrawal penalty has been fully paid to the Athenaeum Scientific Publisher Editorial Office.

As per the policy, we declare that in case of withdrawal, the withdrawal charges will be applicable.
