  3. Article does not pass pre-review stage for three times
  4. Article rejection by recommendation of the reviewer related to substances/content of the article

Rejection or withdrawal with fine happens because of two things, those are:

  1. Writer that takes his writing with any reasons when the article has been proceed (enter the pre-review stage by the managing director).
  2. There is duplication in publication, where the writer does submit an article to several journals, one of which is the Journal of Tourism and Hospitality Analysis, or the article has been published in another journal and re-submitted to the Journal of Tourism and Hospitality Analysis.

Article withdrawal after being processed or duplicated in the publication is a waste of time where the managing director, editor, and reviewer have engaged in meaningless activities, so in this case, the writer will be blacklisted with consequences; the writer will be blacklisted from Journal of Tourism and Hospitality Analysis, so the writer cannot submit the article.
