Withdrawal Policy
Authors may wish to withdraw their manuscript after submitting it to Gavin Publishers. We understand that circumstances can arise that necessitate the withdrawal of a manuscript and we will work with authors to facilitate this process.
To withdraw a manuscript, the corresponding author must send a written request to the editorial office via email. The request should include the following information:
- The title of the manuscript
- The name of the corresponding author
- The reason for withdrawing the manuscript
Once the request has been received, the editorial office will confirm the withdrawal with the corresponding author and all other authors listed on the manuscript. If the manuscript has already been assigned to an editor or reviewers, they will be notified of the withdrawal.
If a manuscript is withdrawn after acceptance and before publication, the corresponding author will be asked to pay 50% of the invoice amount. Each and every manuscript submission costs us (Gavin Publishers) a certain amount along with overhead cost during processing. Once a manuscript's peer review process is completed (which can often happen within a week), and it has been worked into a journal issue, we have incurred costs on our end that need to be reimbursed.
Please note that authors are responsible for ensuring that their manuscript is ready for submission and has met all relevant ethical and publishing standards before submitting it for consideration. Withdrawal requests based on disputes among authors or between authors and their institutions regarding authorship, data ownership, or other issues cannot be considered.
We understand that withdrawing a manuscript can be a difficult decision for authors and we will do our best to accommodate their needs while also maintaining the integrity of our publication process. If you have any questions or concerns about manuscript withdrawal or article processing fees, please don't hesitate to contact us at: contact@gavinpublishers.org.
