Global Insight Journal recognizes that authors may occasionally need to request the withdrawal of a manuscript before publication. The journal handles withdrawal requests carefully to protect the interests of authors, reviewers, editors, and the integrity of the scholarly publication process.
Article withdrawal is permitted only under specific circumstances and must follow the formal procedures and confirmation loops outlined in this policy framework.
Manuscript removal parameters are rigidly governed by the active lifecycle phase of the submission file:
The primary corresponding author handles withdrawal actions on behalf of the complete research group, ensuring full pre-agreement before notice ingestion. Applications must be routed in writing from the registered submission profile, explicitly detailing the title, reference IDs, and academic reasons.
Critical Safety Rule: Authors are completely banned from submitting the identical manuscript to alternate journals until they capture our formal written confirmation of withdrawal. Simultaneous multi-journal tracking is treated as duplicate submission misconduct, prompting immediate editorial bans.
Extracting a manuscript late in processing (e.g., post-acceptance or near typesetting steps) without valid ethical cause solely to route it to alternate venues constitutes serious publication misconduct. If peer-review manipulation, copyright overlaps, or hidden malpractice fields are flagged during assessment, the journal preserves the right to deny the withdrawal application, conclude its investigation, and escalate findings directly to the parent university or funding agencies. Repeated unjustified extractions or ignoring board queries results in long-term submission blocks.
The Editorial Office audits incoming applications based on a balanced metric tracking system: current publication tier, resource fractions expended during review, validity of the written cause, and prospective legal overlaps. All decisions conform to standard COPE algorithmic metrics, executing fair and completely independent assessments.
A manuscript is considered officially and legally cleared from the system only after the corresponding author receives an explicit written confirmation letter from the Editorial Office. Until this confirmation record generates, the document remains under active consideration by Global Insight Journal.
This policy text updates periodically to reflect developments in open access workflow rules, copyright legislation shifts, and international publishing best practices.
