Withdraw Policy
Omnipotent is committed to providing high quality articles and uphold the publication ethics to advance the intellectual agenda of science. We expect our authors to comply with, best practice in publication ethics as well as in quality of their articles.
To evade gratuitous withdrawal of manuscripts Omnipotent declared the below withdrawal policy.
Withdrawal of the article
Articles in press that represent early versions of articles that have been accepted for publication but not yet published in final form may be withdrawn prior to final publication. Articles in press may be withdrawn when:
- They are found to contain errors.
- They are found to be an accidental duplicate of another published article.
- They may have violated the journal's publishing policies, for example, multiple submissions, false claims of authorship, plagiarism, fraudulent use of data.
- They represent an initial version of an article that was published due to an editorial or production error.
Article Retraction
Retraction of an article by its authors or by the journal editor following the advice of members of the academic community has long been an occasional feature of the scientific world. Articles may be retracted to correct errors affecting the findings reported by an article when they are too extensive in the opinion of the editors to publish a correction, or because of violations of journal policies such as multiple submissions, false claims of authorship, plagiarism, fraudulent use of data, or the like.
Journal editors or their designated representatives will consider retracting an article in which:
- They have clear evidence that the findings are unreliable, either as a result of a major error (e.g., calculation error or experimental error), or as a result of fabrication (e.g., of data) or falsification (e.g., image manipulation).
- It constitutes plagiarism.
- The findings have been previously published elsewhere and the authors have not provided proper attribution to previous sources or disclosure to the editor, permission to republish, or justification (i.e. redundant publication).
- Contains material or data that the authors were not authorized to publish.
- Copyright has been infringed or there is some other serious legal problem (e.g. defamation, violation of privacy).
- Reports unethical research and/or violates the journal's editorial ethics policies regarding the conduct of research involving human and/or animal participants.
- There is evidence of compromised peer review or systematic manipulation of the editorial process.
- There is material evidence or concerns that authorship is being sold.
- There is evidence of dating manipulation.
- The authors have not disclosed a significant competing interest (a conflict of interest) that, in the opinion of the editor, would have materially affected the interpretations of the work or the recommendations of the editors and/or peer reviewers.
- There is evidence of any other breach of the journal's editorial policies and the editor has therefore lost confidence in the validity or integrity of the article.
Deleting articles: legal limitations
In an extremely limited number of cases, it may be necessary to remove an article from the online archive of the journal in which it was published. Given the importance of maintaining the scholarly record as a permanent and, to the extent possible, unaltered record of scholarly transactions, removal of an article is rare and will only occur when it is determined that:
- The article is defamatory or infringes the legal rights of others and retraction is not a sufficient remedy.
- The article is, or the journal has good reason to expect that it will be, the subject of a court order.
- If acted upon, the article could pose a serious health risk.
In these circumstances, while the metadata (Title and Authors) will be retained, the text of the article will be replaced with a screen indicating that the article has been removed for legal reasons.
Withdrawal form
If the author wish to withdraw paper from a journal, author needs to submit an " Article withdrawal Form" signed by all authors (or) the corresponding author of the manuscript stating the reasons for manuscript withdrawal. The form is available from the Editorial Office of the journal.
