Article Withdrawal Policy
Manuscript Withdrawal (Before Acceptance)
The corresponding author may request manuscript withdrawal after submission (before acceptance), by providing a genuine reason. Withdrawal request received before initiating the peer-review process (normally within 5 days of submission) will be considered immediately without asking any reason.
However, after the review process gets initiated, the author may withdraw the manuscript by providing a genuine ethical reason. If any unethical reason for manuscript withdrawn get detected (even after completely withdrawn), we might take corresponding ethical action. Submitting author should consider all ethical aspects before submission (such as co-author(s) approval, institutional/funder policy, simultaneous submission, plagiarism, duplicate submission etc.).
Manuscript Withdrawal (After Acceptance)
Manuscript withdrawn will not be allowed for the accepted manuscript (whether published galley/early version or not). This may waste the valuable resources and tremendous amount of effort made by the editors, reviewers and the editorial board. If manuscripts that have been accepted for publication include scientific errors or discovered to be accidental duplication of other published article(s) or determined to violate our publishing ethics guidelines; such as multiple submission, bogus claims of authorship, plagiarism, reviewer biasing, fraudulent use of data or research misconduct, it will be handled according.
Post publication withdrawal (After published)
Articles that have been published shall remain extant, exact and unaltered as far as is possible. However, some ethical issue may arise where a published article might later be corrected, replaced, retracted or even removed. Such actions must be taken seriously and can only occur under exceptional circumstances. We believe that these issues require international standards and we will adopt international standards along with recommended best practices as standards evolve and changes over time. Post-publication withdrawal may be in the form of Addendum, Duplication, Erratum, Corrigendum, Retraction, Replacement or Removal.
Article Retraction
Occasionally a retraction will be used if infringements of publishing ethics, such as use of fake data, research misconduct, multiple submission, plagiarism etc. get detected. The retraction of an article by its authors or the editor can take place only after properly investigating the case under the advice of members of the scholarly community. Based on standard advice by scholarly community (COPE,ICMJE) for dealing with retractions, the following best practice for retraction by NMJ has been adopted.
Case will be considered under retraction policy only if research integrity got challenged (by duplicate publication, plagiarized, bias/fake reviewing fake data, false results). Any other misconduct which does not affect research integrity of manuscript (such as author dispute, institution/funding policy, simultaneous submission) will not be considered under retraction.
Retraction case will be considered in accordance with COPE guideline only if serious article integrity gets detected after complete investigation and not able to cover by corrigendum.
A retraction note titled “Retraction: [article title]” will be published in the paginated part of a subsequent issue of the journal and listed in the contents list. Retraction note will contain retraction decision and a link to the original article.
The original article (pdf) will be retained unchanged with added “Retracted” watermark on each page. Crossmark data will be updated with retraction status of the article and a link to the retraction notice.
