Q: Do I have to withdraw the paper?

Detailed Question -

I submitted a paper to a journal (using email, there is not online submission system) and i did not receive a confirmation email. I sent many time to the editor with no response. Finally, i sent emails to all editors and co-editors and finally received an email form the technical editor that they did not receive my paper. I would like to send the paper to another journal. Do i have to send email the editor to withdraw my paper or there is no need to do this as he said that they did not receive the paper. Thanks

Dear Author,

Thank you for writing to us.

Based on the information you provided us there is no need to email the journal since the journal has confirmed that they have not received your paper for consideration.
