Withdrawal of Manuscripts

Authors are not allowed to withdraw submitted manuscripts because the withdrawals are a waste of valuable resources because editors and referees have invested a great deal of time and money in processing submitted manuscripts. If authors still request withdrawal of their manuscripts when the manuscripts are still in the peer-reviewing process, they will be punished by paying $200 per manuscript as a withdrawal penalty to the publisher. However, it is unethical to withdraw a submitted manuscript from one journal if it has been accepted by another journal. The withdrawal of manuscripts after they have been accepted for publication will be punished by the author by paying US $500 per manuscript. Manuscripts can only be taken back after the penalty for taking them back has been paid in full.
