Article Withdrawal Policy

If the withdrawal is within the 10 days of submission, the author is allowed to withdraw the manuscript without paying any withdrawal fee, however, if authors withdraw manuscripts any time after review and acceptance, a withdrawal fee will have to be paid.

However, If the authors/conference organizers/or a third party withdraw manuscripts any time after the final manuscript has already been submitted to STM Journals for processing, the request will not be entertained without a withdrawal penalty, which is basically to cover the cost incurred and also to check such practice.

If the author still wants to withdraw the manuscript, the author needs to submit a written letter to STM Journals stating the reasons for manuscript withdrawal along with (Rs 10,000 + 18% GST or USD 200) as Manuscript Withdrawal Charges.

STM Journals will provide the author with a formal letter of Manuscript Withdrawal. Withdrawal of manuscripts is only allowed after the withdrawal penalty has been fully paid to the STM Journals by the authors or conference organizers.

The author can still continue to publish other manuscripts with STM Journals provided they follow the journal submission guidelines.

  • The manuscript is not published either partially or completely in any form, in any other Journal.
  • Manuscript is properly withdrawn from any previous publisher.

In a case where a manuscript has taken more than six months time for reviewer assignment then STM Journals allows the author to withdraw manuscript without paying any charges.

STM Journals holds ALL RIGHTS to publish the manuscript without further approval from the author, and can’t be held responsible for publishing of manuscript in any other Journal.

When to submit your paper in other Journals

Publication is a difficult process, and the author must be prepared to defend his/her submission against rejection from
both editors and peer reviewers. It is important to be persistent when getting your manuscript published. It is best not to
choose another journal until at least one of the following happens:
  • The editors decide that your manuscript is not relevant subject match for the journal.
  • The editor rejects your manuscript without review for a second time after you write a response to their first rejection.
  • Your manuscript is still rejected after responding to all reviewer comments, and it has received a negative review
    feedback from the reviewers.
