Withdrawal Policy

Authors are not permitted to withdraw a manuscript that has been submitted to JBETA (Jurnal Teknik Pertanian dan Biosistem) because the withdrawal is a waste of valuable resources, including the time and efforts of editors, reviewers, and the editorial staff.

If the author still requests withdrawal of the manuscript while it is under peer review, the author will be required to submit a formal request letter, stating clear reasons for withdrawal, signed by all co-authors. The decision regarding withdrawal will be determined by the Editor-in-Chief.

If the manuscript has already been accepted for publication, withdrawal is strictly prohibited. Authors who insist on withdrawing an accepted manuscript may be subject to sanctions, including a temporary ban on submission to JBETA for a specified period.

In cases where unethical withdrawal is identified (e.g., simultaneous submission to another journal or withdrawal after acceptance without valid reason), the Editorial Board reserves the right to impose sanctions and to notify the author’s affiliated institution.
