Withdrawal Policy

1. Introduction

The Journal of Accounting & Business Archive Review (JABAR) is committed to maintaining a high standard of academic integrity and publishing excellence. This Withdrawal Policy outlines the procedures for authors who wish to withdraw their manuscript from the peer-review process or after acceptance for publication.

2. Grounds for Withdrawal

Authors may withdraw their manuscript for a variety of reasons, including:

• Discovery of errors or inaccuracies: If the authors discover significant errors or inaccuracies in their manuscript after submission, they may choose to withdraw it before or during the peer-review process.
• Change in authorship: If the authorship of the manuscript changes significantly after submission, the authors may choose to withdraw it and resubmit with the updated authorship.
• Duplicate submission: If the authors discover that their manuscript has been accidentally submitted to another journal, they should withdraw it from JABAR immediately.
• Ethical concerns: If the authors have any ethical concerns about their manuscript, such as plagiarism or data fabrication, they should withdraw it immediately.

3. Withdrawal before Peer-Review

Authors can withdraw their manuscript before peer-review by contacting the JABAR editorial office at [insert email address]. There are no fees associated with withdrawing a manuscript before peer-review.

4. Withdrawal after Peer-Review but before Acceptance

Authors can withdraw their manuscript after peer-review but before acceptance by contacting the JABAR editorial office. JABAR may request a brief explanation for the withdrawal, but this information will not be shared with the reviewers. There are no fees associated with withdrawing a manuscript after peer-review but before acceptance.

5. Withdrawal after Acceptance

Authors can withdraw their manuscript after acceptance but before publication only with the written consent of the JABAR editor-in-chief. Withdrawal after acceptance may result in the following consequences:

• The authors may be required to pay a withdrawal fee to cover the costs associated with processing the manuscript.
• The manuscript may not be eligible for resubmission to JABAR in the future.
• The authors may be subject to retraction of the manuscript if it has already been published online.

6. Responsibilities of Authors

Authors are responsible for informing the JABAR editorial office promptly of their decision to withdraw their manuscript. They should also provide any necessary information to facilitate the withdrawal process, such as the manuscript title and reference number.
