Manuscript Withdrawal is an action that takes the manuscript out of the review process and places it back into the author's dashboard.
In viewpoint of Ann Appl Sport Sci, It is not suggested that authors withdraw the article, since it wastes valuable manuscript processing time, money and works invested by the publisher.
If author(s) want to withdraw the submitted manuscript during "Peer-Review process" and/or after "Acceptance", the authors must have convincing reasons and pay 1500 USD as the withdrawal penalty. But he author(s) can withdraw their papers at "Pre-Review" without paying any charges and/or posing convincing reasons. Besides, Withdrawing at "Post-Publication" is exactly impossible.
"Plagiarism", "Bogus claims of authorship","Multiple submissions", and "Fraudulent use of data or the like", and "Infringements of professional ethical codes" Are the convincing reasons for manuscript withdrawal.
