| Jun 11, 2019 at 17:54 | comment | added | user2768 | @ScottSeidman You have to give a reasonable amount of time. Unfortunately, reasonable is undefined. Is it one day, two days, five, ...? | |
| Jun 11, 2019 at 16:02 | comment | added | Scott Seidman | Then why wouldn't one just send an email to say "I withdraw this" and submit to another journal immediately? What's so magic and legal about the 1 week deadline? | |
| Jun 11, 2019 at 15:16 | comment | added | Eilia | @Buffy, The manuscript is still in the early step and even no reviewer selected for that. | |
| Jun 11, 2019 at 14:26 | comment | added | Buffy | If you still hold copyright you can pretty much do as you please. It is yours. But it is probably worth sending a retraction notice by registered postal mail with a return receipt. Then you know your request/demand has been seen. (Works in US, at least.) | |

| Jun 11, 2019 at 14:22 | comment | added | user2768 | @ScottSeidman From the OP's question I assume copyright hasn't been assigned nor is the manuscript camera-ready. | |
| Jun 11, 2019 at 14:00 | comment | added | Scott Seidman | For all you know, the author may ALREADY have assigned copyright to the first journal. | |
| Jun 11, 2019 at 13:58 | comment | added | Scott Seidman | This seems arbitrary, and does not avoid any issues such as when the first journal and second journal both publish it. Wishing problems away is usually a poor approach. | |
