Publication Agreement
This is a publication agreement regarding a research paper, which is submitted for publication in our journal. There will be two parties; the author(s) and the International Journal of Humanities (IJOHMN)/SMART MOVES (Publisher). In later on in this agreement, we will write IJOHMN instead of International Journal of Humanities (IJOHMN)/SMART MOVES. When an author or a co-author submits their research paper to the journal this means that they agree to the journal's terms and conditions. If an author is submitting a manuscript, he/she will be deemed that he/she has read, agree and abide by our policies.

Guidelines for Withdrawal of Articles
IJOHMN has deep concerns to maintain the integrity and entirety of the research work for the entire educational fraternity very sincerely. The journal places great importance on the authority of research work after they have been published. Articles that have been published shall remain present, exact and unchanged as far as possible. The editor may allow withdrawal of the article in case of multiple submissions, bogus claims of authorship, fraudulent use of data, etc.
Withdrawn means that the article content (HTML and PDF) is removed and replaced with an HTML page and PDF simply stating that the article has been withdrawn according to the journal’s policy.
Article Removal
In an extremely limited number of cases, it may be necessary to remove a published article from our online platform. This will only happen if an article is clearly defamatory, or infringes others’ legal rights, or where the article is, or we have good reason to expect that it will be, the subject of a court order, or where the article if acted upon, may pose a serious health risk. In such circumstances, while the metadata (i.e. title and author information) of the article will be retained, the text will be replaced with a screen indicating that the article has been removed for legal or other unavoidable reasons.
Post-Publication Corrections
a- Minor Changes- We may allow if there is a minor change like the correction in formatting, spelling or article versioning, this will be considered as a minor change.
b- Major Changes- If there is a major change in the manuscript like a change in the author's name, we will not allow it.
Article Retraction: Infringements of professional ethical codes, such as multiple submission, bogus claims of authorship, plagiarism, fraudulent or fabricated use of data, major error (eg, miscalculation or experimental error) or the like similar incidences, the article may be retracted. Occasionally, a retraction will be used to correct major errors in submission or publication. The findings have previously been published elsewhere without proper attribution to previous sources or disclosure to the editor, permission to republish, or justification (ie, cases of redundant publication)
The original article is retained unchanged except for a watermark which is included on each page of the article PDF indicating that it has been “retracted”.
Notice of retraction will be served to the correspondent author with clear information of Title, Issue, and Volume including the link of the published article.

Article Replacement:
Authors of the original paper at times may wish to retract the flawed original and replace it with a corrected version. Under such circumstances, the above procedures for retraction will be followed with the difference that the article retraction notice will contain a link to the corrected re-published article together with a history of the document.

We ask the author to pay APC only after acceptance of a manuscript. Once the manuscript is accepted, the Article publication Fee (APC) will not be refunded even if you withdraw the manuscript.
