Publishing Policies

Responsible Scholarly Publishing

Sentriva Publishers follows internationally accepted publishing standards to ensure transparency, accountability, accessibility, and long-term preservation of scholarly research. These policies describe our practices relating to manuscript withdrawal, research data, digital archiving, preservation, and research integrity.

The policies are organized into five sections:

Section 1

Author Withdrawal

Sentriva Publishers recognizes that authors may occasionally need to withdraw a manuscript. Withdrawal requests are handled in accordance with established editorial procedures to protect the integrity of the scholarly record and the time invested by editors and reviewers.

Withdrawal Requests

Authors may request withdrawal of a manuscript before a final editorial decision. Requests should be submitted by the corresponding author with a clear explanation for the withdrawal. The Editorial Office will review each request before confirming the withdrawal.

Once peer review has begun, withdrawal requests should only be made for valid academic, ethical, or administrative reasons. Unjustified withdrawals may affect future submissions.


Withdrawal Stages

  • Before editorial review.
  • During editorial screening.
  • During peer review.
  • After acceptance (exceptional cases).
  • Before publication.
  • Post-publication corrections or retractions where applicable.

Editorial Considerations

Withdrawal requests are evaluated fairly and may require confirmation from all co-authors. The publisher reserves the right to decline requests when withdrawal could compromise publication ethics or the integrity of the editorial process.

Withdrawal Guidelines

Requests should be submitted by the corresponding author.

Reason Required

A clear explanation should accompany every withdrawal request.
