Manuscript withdrawal

The author is not allowed to withdraw submitted manuscripts, because the withdrawal is a waste of valuable resources that editors and referees spent a great deal of time processing submitted manuscripts, money, and works invested by the publisher.

 If the author still requests withdrawal of his/her manuscript when the manuscript is still in the peer-reviewing process, the author will be fined IDR 300.000 (for Indonesian authors) or USD 30 (for international authors) per manuscript, as a withdrawal penalty payable to the publisher. However, it is unethical to withdraw a submitted manuscript from one journal if accepted by another journal. The withdrawal of the manuscript after the manuscript is accepted for publication in another journal, the author will be fined IDR 1.000.000 (for Indonesian authors) USD 100 (for International authors) per manuscript. Withdrawal of the manuscript is only allowed after the withdrawal penalty has been fully paid to the Publisher.

 If the authors doe not agree to pay the penalty, the author and his/her affiliation will be blacklisted for publication in this journal. The blacklist will remain effective until 5 years.
