Eduistiqomah in Islamic Education Management (EIEM) recognizes that authors may occasionally need to withdraw a submitted manuscript due to legitimate reasons. To maintain an efficient and fair editorial and peer-review process, manuscript withdrawal must follow the procedures outlined below.
Authors may request the withdrawal of their manuscript at any stage before publication, provided that the request is based on a legitimate reason.
Withdrawal requests must be submitted formally to the editorial office by the corresponding author or, where appropriate, by all authors.
Authors may withdraw a manuscript before the peer-review process begins by submitting a formal withdrawal request through the journal's editorial system or by contacting the editorial office.
No withdrawal fee will be charged when a manuscript is withdrawn before peer review.
If authors wish to withdraw a manuscript while it is undergoing peer review, they should provide a clear explanation for the request.
The editor will evaluate the request and may approve the withdrawal when there is a legitimate reason.
Authors should not withdraw a manuscript merely because the review process has resulted in requests for revision or because the expected editorial decision is unfavorable.
A manuscript that has already received an acceptance decision should not normally be withdrawn.
Withdrawal after acceptance may be considered only in exceptional circumstances, such as:
Serious errors that substantially affect the manuscript;
Ethical concerns involving the research or publication;
Legal or copyright issues;
Discovery of duplicate or simultaneous submission;
Serious authorship disputes; or
Other substantial circumstances considered valid by the editor.
The editorial team reserves the right to assess the circumstances before approving such a request.
Once an article has been formally published, it is considered part of the permanent scholarly record and cannot normally be withdrawn.
If a serious problem is identified after publication, the journal will handle the matter through its Retraction and Correction Policy, rather than treating it as a routine manuscript withdrawal.
Appropriate action may include correction, expression of concern, or retraction, depending on the circumstances.
A withdrawal request should include:
Manuscript title;
Manuscript identification or submission number;
Names of all authors;
Name and contact details of the corresponding author;
Reason for withdrawal; and
Confirmation that all authors agree to the withdrawal.
The editorial office may request additional information or documentation when necessary.
The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that all co-authors are informed about and agree to the withdrawal request.
Where an authorship dispute exists, the journal may suspend the withdrawal decision until the dispute has been appropriately clarified.
Authors must not submit the same manuscript to another journal while the manuscript is under consideration by EIEM.
If evidence of simultaneous submission is identified, the manuscript may be rejected and the matter may be handled as a potential publication-ethics violation.
EIEM does not charge a submission fee or peer-review fee.
If an article has already been accepted and an Article Processing Charge (APC) has been paid, withdrawal or post-acceptance cancellation will be assessed on a case-by-case basis, particularly when editorial production or publication work has already commenced.
EIEM reserves the right to refuse a withdrawal request when the request is considered inconsistent with publication ethics or when withdrawal would improperly interfere with the integrity of the scholarly record.
The editorial team may also initiate appropriate action when a manuscript is found to involve plagiarism, duplicate submission, fraudulent data, authorship misconduct, or other serious ethical concerns.
The journal's manuscript withdrawal procedures are informed by recognized principles of publication ethics and relevant guidance from the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
EIEM seeks to ensure that withdrawal decisions are handled fairly, transparently, consistently, and with due consideration for authors, reviewers, editors, and the integrity of the scholarly record.
Authors are encouraged to carefully review their manuscripts before submission and to withdraw a manuscript only when there is a legitimate and compelling reason.
A withdrawal request should be submitted promptly and formally to the editorial office so that the journal can take appropriate action and avoid unnecessary use of editorial and reviewer resources.
