Manuscript Withdrawal Policy

Harf-o-Sukhan (حرف سخن) allows authors to request withdrawal of their submitted manuscripts under specific circumstances. The journal follows a transparent and ethical procedure to manage manuscript withdrawal requests while maintaining academic integrity.

Authors should carefully review their manuscripts before submission. Withdrawal requests should only be made when there are valid reasons and must be communicated to the editorial office officially.

Withdrawal Before Peer Review

Authors may request withdrawal of their manuscript before the peer review process begins. The corresponding author must submit a formal withdrawal request explaining the reason for withdrawal.

Withdrawal During Peer Review

Withdrawal requests received during the review process will be evaluated by the editorial team. Authors should provide a valid justification, and withdrawal will only be processed after approval from the journal authorities.

Withdrawal After Acceptance

Once a manuscript has been accepted for publication, withdrawal requests are considered only in exceptional situations, such as serious ethical concerns, authorship disputes, or other valid academic reasons.

Withdrawal Procedure

• Authors must submit a written withdrawal request to the editorial office.
• The request must include manuscript title, submission ID, author details, and reason for withdrawal.
• The editorial team reviews the request and communicates the final decision.
• Withdrawal is confirmed only after official approval from the journal.

Ethical Considerations

Authors cannot withdraw manuscripts to submit them simultaneously to another journal. Duplicate submission, unethical withdrawal practices, or misleading information may result in appropriate editorial action according to publication ethics guidelines.
