Withdrawal Policy

You are not permitted to withdraw submitted articles as such articles are immediately assigned to reviewers upon submission. Any author who wishes to withdraw his/her submitted manuscript(s) must pay the article processing charge of the journal otherwise, we will inform his university as it is illegal and unethical to withdraw a manuscript under review.

You are not permitted to withdraw accepted articles as most of our editors and reviewers are salaried workers whom we are obligated to pay whenever they complete the peer-review process.

Once an author has filled the consent form to pay the handling fee and later change his mind to withdraw his paper, he must pay the article processing fee and if he refuses, we shall report him to his university.

The only ground for authors to withdraw their articles is when their manuscripts have been rejected by us. If authors withdraw or send their articles to another journal without our permission, then we shall have no choice than to report them to their institutions.

Refund policy

ISJ Refund Policy is our agreement with customers where we inform them about our policies regarding returns and refunds. It represents our business' core principle and philosophies. It is important for our customers to read it before paying for our goods or services.

Once payment has been made for the goods or services we render, we will not issue refunds of any kind. In this sense, all our sales are final and no refunds will be issued. So before you make payment, take time to review our refund policy to make sure you are comfortable with the terms.
