Article Withdrawal and Authorship Policy

Once an article has been accepted for publication, it cannot be withdrawn by the authors, except in exceptional circumstances and at the discretion of the Editor-in-Chief.

After acceptance, changes to the authorship, including the addition, removal, or modification of authors’ names or order of authorship, are not permitted.

Authors are therefore advised to carefully verify the final manuscript, authorship, author names, affiliations, and order of authorship before submission and throughout the peer-review process.
