I published an article in a particular journal only to be told afterwards by my University that the publication doesn't count because the journal is considered 'predatory'. What are my options? Can I retract and publish the article in another journal? How do I go about this? My peers consider the article good and it will be a waste of resources if I can't re-publish it in a reputable journal.
The first thing you have to do is to try to contact the editor of that journal. Explain your requirement of withdrawing the article. If it is a predatory journal and you have already made your payment for publication, you will hardly get an opportunity to retract. Further, if they publish your aticle, the same article won't be published by any other journal since it has already been published. Therefore, the best option is to try to convince them as much as possible and avoiding the current publication.
Dear Eyo Emmanuel Essien, this is a real misfortune. I'm afraid that it is not possible to publish your paper elsewhere unless the predatory lets you retract your article. Before submitting your next manuscript you should carefully check if the envisaged journal is a predatory one (see https://beallslist.net).
Hello
Dear Eyo you fix the paper and do it better
