Withdrawal of Manuscript
The author is not allowed to withdraw submitted or published manuscripts (unless there are compelling reasons) because the withdrawal wastes valuable resources that editors and reviewers spent much time processing submitted manuscripts and works invested by the publisher.
Suppose the author still requests the withdrawal of their manuscript. In that case, the author will be asked to submit an "Article withdrawal Form" signed by all authors (or) the corresponding author of the manuscript stating the reasons for manuscript withdrawal. Authors must not assume that their manuscript has been withdrawn until they receive appropriate notification from the editorial office. Please get in touch with muamalah@metrouniv.ac.id for the "Article withdrawal Form."
However, it is unethical to withdraw a submitted or published manuscript from one journal if accepted by another journal.
