We wish to inform you that, in light of the recent developments concerning the Romanian Journal of Legal Medicine (RJLM) our new team will be reaching out to each author who has submitted articles for publication with a personalized message.
If you wish to withdraw your submission currently under review by RJLM, please notify us via email at smlr.secretariat@gmail.com. No fees will be charged for article withdrawals. Upon request, authors will receive a confirmation email certifying the withdrawal, allowing the article to be submitted elsewhere for publication.
For authors who have already submitted articles for review and choose not to withdraw them, the peer-review and publication processes will continue in the order of submission and date received. We are committed to expediting the resolution of any delays and ensuring a smooth progression of pending submissions.
Through this message, we aim to address each article’s situation individually, provide clarifications, and keep you informed about the future directions of the journal.
