Withdrawal of Manuscript

Authors are not allowed to withdraw manuscripts that have been submitted to or published in Elementary: Jurnal Ilmiah Pendidikan Dasar, unless there are compelling reasons. Manuscript withdrawal is considered a waste of valuable resources, as editors and reviewers have devoted considerable time and effort to processing and reviewing submitted manuscripts, while the publisher has also invested resources in the publication process.

If authors still wish to withdraw their manuscripts, they will be required to complete and submit an Article Withdrawal Form, signed by all authors or the corresponding author, stating the reasons for the withdrawal. Authors must not assume that their manuscripts have been officially withdrawn until they have received formal notification or confirmation from the editorial office. To obtain the Article Withdrawal Form, authors may contact the Elementary editorial office at [email protected].

However, it is unethical for authors to withdraw a manuscript submitted to or published in one journal on the grounds that it has been accepted by another journal.
