Withdrawal Policy

The International Journal of Islamic Psychology strongly discourages unethical withdrawal of manuscripts after submission, as it disrupts the integrity of the editorial and review process. Authors may request withdrawal before the peer-review process begins by providing a valid reason in writing to the editorial office. Once a manuscript has entered the peer-review stage, withdrawal is permitted only under exceptional circumstances and with the approval of the Editor-in-Chief. Authors who withdraw manuscripts after acceptance or without a valid justification may be subject to sanctions, including restrictions on future submissions. This policy ensures fairness, accountability, and respect for the time and effort of editors and reviewers.
