Authors are not permitted to withdraw submitted or published manuscripts (unless there are compelling reasons), as withdrawal constitutes a waste of valuable resources expended by editors and reviewers in processing submitted manuscripts and the efforts invested by the publisher.

Should an author nevertheless request the withdrawal of their manuscript, the author will be required to submit an "Article Withdrawal Form" signed by all authors (or) the corresponding author, stating the reasons for manuscript withdrawal. Authors must not assume that their manuscript has been withdrawn until they have received official notification to that effect from the editorial office. Please contact jurnalkomunita@gmail.com to obtain the "Article Withdrawal Form."

However, withdrawing a submitted or published manuscript from one journal upon acceptance by another journal is considered unethical.
