Article Withdrawal Policy

PIRJ recognizes that sometimes an author may wish to withdraw their manuscript after submission. Our policy ensures transparency and ethical handling of such requests.

Withdrawal Stages

• Pre-Review: Authors can withdraw the paper at this stage without penalty.
• During/Post Review: Authors must provide a formal letter explaining the reasons for withdrawal. The Editorial Board will evaluate the request.

Correction and Retraction

If serious errors or ethical violations are discovered after publication, PIRJ may publish a **Correction** or a **Retraction Notice**. In cases of retraction, the original article will stay in the archive but will be clearly watermarked as "RETRACTED" to maintain the integrity of the scientific record.
