Pre-publication Withdrawal (During Peer-review and Editing Process)

The editorial workflow's withdrawal procedure is split into two halves, as follows: before manuscript acceptance and after acceptance.

Manuscript Withdrawal (Before Acceptance)

The submitting author may, upon submission (but before acceptance), request that the work be withdrawn by giving a strong justification. Requests for withdrawal made before to the start of the peer-review process—typically within three days after submission—will be taken into consideration right away, without needing an explanation. However, the author may remove the paper by citing a strong ethical argument once the review process has begun. We may take appropriate ethical action if any unethical cause for the manuscript's withdrawal is discovered (even after it has been totally withdrawn). Before submitting, the author of the work should think about all ethical issues (permission from co-authors, institutional/funder policy,

Manuscript Withdrawal (After Acceptance)

Withdrawn manuscripts will not be accepted for publication as galleys or early versions of the accepted text. We forbid authors from engaging in the unethical practice of withholding their accepted manuscript from submission to a different journal or publisher, so squandering valuable editorial and reviewer resources. Before submitting, the submitting author is expected to have spoken with all co-authors and reviewed all material pertaining to the journal or publication on the official webpage. The author submitting work must also be aware of any funding, institutional, or national policies on publishing, and they must confer with their collaborator prior to submitting. If the submitting author believes there is a discrepancy between their national, institutional, or funder policy and our journal's or publisher's policy, they can contact us for clarification using the primary email address that is provided under the "contact us" option. Any such justification for disputes cannot be used to withdraw a manuscript once it has been accepted. Manuscripts that have been accepted for publication will be dealt with in accordance with the relevant ethical misconduct policy if they contain scientific errors, are found to be an accidental replication of another published article or articles, or are found to violate our publishing ethics guidelines. Examples of such guidelines include multiple submission, false authorship claims, plagiarism, reviewer bias, fraudulent use of data, and research misconduct.

Post publication withdrawal (After published)

JLLRD Journal places a high value on upholding confidence in the legitimacy of its electronic archive because it understands how important the integrity and completeness of the academic record are to scholars and librarians. Which submitted paper gets published is usually decided completely and independently by the managing editor of the document. The editor bases this choice on the reviewer's advice as well as the journal/publisher policies. Published articles will, to the extent feasible, remain current, accurate, and unmodified. However, there can be moral dilemmas if an article that has already been published is later changed, withdrawn, substituted, or even eliminated. These kinds of activities are extremely rare and should only be considered in extreme cases. By taking into account recent industry best practices in academic publication, this strategy attempts to allay these worries. We think that worldwide standards are necessary for these problems, and as these standards develop and change over time, we will implement international standards in addition to suggested best practices.

Article Retraction

Retractions are sometimes used to address violations of publication ethics, including the use of fictitious data, dishonesty in research, duplicate submissions, plagiarism, etc. Only after thoroughly reviewing the matter and consulting with experts in the field may an article be retracted by its writers or editor. The academic community's standard recommendation, as outlined by COPE and ICMJE, has been the basis for adopting the following best practice for retraction by JLLRD Journal. Only in cases where research integrity is questioned (duplicate publishing, plagiarism, biased or phony evaluation of fake data, fraudulent results), will a case be reviewed under the retraction policy. Retraction will not be applied to any other wrongdoing (author disagreement, funding policy/institution, simultaneous submission, etc.) that does not compromise the research integrity of the paper. Retraction cases will only be taken into consideration in compliance with COPE guidelines if, following a thorough inquiry, severe article integrity is found and cannot be addressed by a corrigendum. The paginated portion of a later edition of the journal will have a retraction notice headed "Retraction: [article title]" that will be mentioned in the contents list. A link to the original article and the retraction decision will be included in the retraction notice. The initial article (in PDF format) will be kept unaltered, with a "Retracted" watermark appended to each page. The article's retraction status and a link to the retraction notice will be updated in CrossMark data.

Article Removal: Legal Limitations

An item may need to be removed from the online database in a very small number of circumstances. This will only happen if the item is blatantly libelous or violates the legal rights of others, if it is the subject of a court order or we have good cause to believe it will be, or if acting upon the material might seriously endanger someone's health. In some cases, the content will be replaced by a screen noting that the article has been deleted for legal reasons, but the metadata (Title and Authors) will remain intact. COPE guidelines
