<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">This is interesting. It is an IP issue, but expecting a response from a predatory journal (apart from “our author fees are …”) would have about as much success as asking the creator of the universe to switch

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-ZA">An interesting thought and debate. Mediterranean Journal of Social Sciences (MJSS) was identified as predatory and removed from the IBSS list. My one student was told by his university to withdraw the paper he published.
He has requested withdrawal and want to re-submit to an accredited non-predatory journal but MJSS have not responded. How should be handle this? If he publishes now is it self-plagiarism or what does he do in this instance?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
