Withdrawl Policy

Author(s) is not allowed to retract manuscript(s) that are in the process of being peer-reviewed, as such withdrawal is a waste of valuable resources. For attention, the author must read and understand the approved checklist before submitting the manuscript.

• If the author(s) requests withdrawal of the manuscript(s) during the Submission stage (initial review), the author(s) will be blacklisted on JGM for 1 year, and the submission will be declined.
• If the author(s) requests withdrawal of the manuscript(s) during the Review stage, the author(s) will be penalized by paying Rp 100.000,- per manuscript.
• If the manuscript(s) is withdrawn after it is accepted for publication, the author(s) will be penalized by paying Rp 200.000,- per manuscript.
• Suppose an article has been published as an "Article in Pres" containing a scientific error, a redundant publication, or an ethical publication violation. In that case, it will be "Withdrawn" from the JGM site. Withdrawal means the HTML and PDF content states that the article has been withdrawn. In this case, the author(s) will be penalized by paying Rp 250.000,- per manuscript.
• If the author(s) does not agree/not accept a fine, the author and his affiliates will be blacklisted for publication in JGM for 3 years.
• To request the withdrawal of the article, the author(s) sends an official letter signed by all the authors concerned and addressed to the Chief Editor.
