Iqra: Jurnal Ilmu Kependidikan dan Keislaman allows authors to withdraw their manuscripts under certain conditions, while maintaining ethical publishing standards and preventing academic misconduct.
Authors may withdraw their manuscript at any time before the peer review process begins. In this case, no penalties will be applied, and the manuscript will be removed from the editorial system.
If authors request withdrawal while the manuscript is under peer review, they must submit a formal written request to the Editor-in-Chief stating clear reasons for withdrawal. Withdrawal at this stage is generally discouraged, except under valid academic or ethical considerations.
Withdrawal after a manuscript has been accepted for publication is strongly discouraged. Such requests will only be considered under exceptional circumstances. Authors may be subject to sanctions, including temporary or permanent restrictions on future submissions.
Manuscript withdrawal is not permitted if it is intended to:
Submit the same manuscript to another journal simultaneously (duplicate submission)
Avoid negative peer review outcomes
Engage in unethical publishing practices
The editorial board reserves the right to refuse withdrawal requests if the manuscript is suspected of ethical violations or if withdrawal may disrupt the publication process.
All withdrawal requests must be submitted via official email communication and must be approved by the Editor-in-Chief before the manuscript is considered officially withdrawn.
This policy is aligned with COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) guidelines to ensure integrity, fairness, and transparency in the publication process.
