Article Cancellation

Authors are not permitted to cancel or withdraw their manuscripts.

Cancellation/withdrawal of an article that has been submitted is considered unethical. If the article cancellation/withdrawal is due to the author's paper being accepted in another journal, then the author will be fined IDR 1,500,000.00 (one million five hundred thousand rupiah) per manuscript. Cancellation/withdrawal of articles can only be done after the fine is paid to the journal manager. If the author disagrees to pay the fine, then the author and their affiliation will be banned from publishing in the Krisnadana Journal (Computer, Control Systems, & Networks) and reported to the ANJANI website regarding double publication and will be blacklisted from the Sidyanusa e-journal portal.
