An author who wishes to withdraw a submitted manuscript should inform the journal promptly, using the official correspondence channel or journal contact information.
Before Publication
The corresponding author should identify the manuscript and explain the reason for the request. The editorial office should confirm the manuscript's current status and any outstanding issues before recording the withdrawal.
Published Articles
A published article is not normally removed simply through a withdrawal request. Post-publication concerns are assessed under the journal's correction and retraction procedures.
Fees and Charges
Any charges connected to withdrawal must be governed by a separately published and approved journal policy. This page does not establish a withdrawal fee.
