Withdrawal Policy

02. Author Responsibility

Authors are responsible for ensuring the accuracy, originality, and adherence to ethical standards of their submitted manuscripts.

Once a manuscript has been submitted for consideration, authors are expected to adhere to the journal's policies and procedures.

03. Reasons for Withdrawal

Manuscripts may be withdrawn from consideration for publication for various reasons, including but not limited to:

• Discovery of errors or inaccuracies that significantly impact the validity or integrity of the research.
• Plagiarism or unethical conduct discovered within the manuscript.
• Duplicate submission of the manuscript to another journal simultaneously.
• Request by the authors due to personal or professional reasons.

04. Withdrawal Request

Authors wishing to withdraw their manuscript from consideration must submit a formal withdrawal request to the editorial office of the Pakistan Journal of Management Research (PJMR).

The withdrawal request should be sent via email and include the following details:

• Manuscript title
• Corresponding author's name and contact information
• Reason for withdrawal (optional but encouraged for transparency)
• Confirmation of withdrawal request from all co-authors, if applicable

05. Editorial Review

Upon receiving a withdrawal request, the editorial team will review the request and assess its validity.

If the withdrawal request is deemed legitimate and meets the journal's withdrawal criteria, the manuscript will be officially withdrawn from consideration for publication.

06. Publication Status

If a manuscript has not yet been published, an approved withdrawal request will result in the manuscript being removed from further editorial and peer-review consideration.

If an article has already been formally published online or in print, requests concerning its removal or correction will be evaluated under the journal's applicable Retraction and Correction Policies.

Any necessary post-publication notice will be handled in a transparent manner to maintain the integrity of the scholarly record.
