The GPH-International Journal of Business Management is committed to maintaining the integrity of the academic record. Authors may request to withdraw their manuscript before it has been accepted for publication. However, withdrawal after the manuscript has been accepted will only be permitted in exceptional circumstances.

Withdrawal Before Acceptance

Authors can withdraw their manuscript without any consequences if it has not yet been accepted for publication. The request should be made in writing to the editorial office.

Withdrawal After Acceptance

Once a manuscript has been accepted for publication, withdrawal requests will only be considered under exceptional circumstances. Authors must provide a valid reason for the request, which will be reviewed by the editorial board. If the withdrawal is approved, a formal notice will be issued by the journal.

Penalties for Unethical Withdrawal

Unethical withdrawal of articles, such as for the purpose of submitting to another journal, is strongly discouraged. Such actions may result in penalties, including a ban on future submissions to the journal.
