Soshum: Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities

Soshum allows authors to request the withdrawal of a manuscript under specific conditions, while maintaining the integrity and efficiency of the editorial and publication process. Withdrawal requests must be formally submitted by the corresponding author and clearly state the reasons for withdrawal.

Manuscripts may be withdrawn prior to the peer review process or during the early editorial stage, provided that no substantial editorial or review work has been completed. Once a manuscript has entered the peer review process, withdrawal is strongly discouraged and will only be considered under justified and acceptable circumstances.

If a manuscript is withdrawn without a valid reason or after significant editorial processing, the journal reserves the right to impose administrative sanctions or restrictions on future submissions. This policy is intended to prevent misuse of the editorial system and to respect the time and effort of editors and reviewers.

After a manuscript has been accepted or published, withdrawal is no longer permitted. In such cases, any necessary changes will be handled through correction, retraction, or editorial notice in accordance with the journal's publication ethics policy.

Through this policy, Soshum ensures responsible submission practices, editorial efficiency, and the protection of academic integrity throughout the publication process.
