Withdrawal Policy
Every now and then, an author may wish to withdraw a manuscript after submitting it. Author has the full right to change ones 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 An author is liable to withdraw an article at no charge as long as it is withdrawn within 7 days of its initial submission.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.
