Authors' fees

 

Article Publication Charge

Some journals provide an Immediate Open Access for all published articles. Authors of accepted articles are required to pay an Article Publication Charge that includes fee for Open Access online immediately via the journal website, meaning that readers will not need a journal subscription to view open access content. If an author will not pay the Article Publication Charge, the article will remain unpublished. 

APC can be paid by authors only after receiving the notification from an editor on the article acceptance for publication.

 

Article Submission Charge

Some jounrals require single Article Submission Charge (ASC) per submitted manuscript to defray its editorial consideration costs. ACS is for the manuscript consideration process that includes:

  • initial manuscript consideration by editors for compliance with Guidelines for Authors and Editorial Policies;
  • checking for plagiarism;
  • manuscript processing for double-blind peer-review, administration of authors-to-reviewers-to-authors communication;
  • presentation of an article and the peer-review results for the Editorial board;
  • communication with authors on all the Editorial board's decisions.

ASC does not guarantee the publication of a manuscript! The fee is not refundable in the case of refusal to publish after peer-reviewing or failure to review the paper for publication by objective reasons (failure to comply with the authors of author's copyright provisions; negative reviews; author(s) failure to meet a deadline for manuscript corrections; refusal to adopt/correct/update the manuscript in accordance with the requirements of the editorial board; violation of publication ethics guidelines.

 

Fast-Track 

The Fast-Track is a review process and editorial workflow to authors seeking a very fast editorial decision and rapid publication at a higher submission fee to compensate the extreme fast referees and editorial work.

For the Fast-Track users:

  • the guaranteed final decision time is 21 days, starting the count from the first business day on which valid payment information has been received from the submitting author; Authors will receive a report with peer-review results and a decision letter from the Editor-in-Chief and the Editorial Board;
  • in case of manuscript acceptance by Editor-in-Chief and Editorial Board members (in regards with positive peer-reviews) — the guaranteed issue for publication is a nearest upcoming issue of the journal.

The “Fast-Track” option does not guarantee a positive review and acceptance of a manuscript itself. It's only brings an extreme fast time scedule for manuscript processing thrue all editorial procedires. Thus, if the manuscript receives negative peer-reviews, and if the editorial board will take the side of reviewers, the manuscript will be rejected. If the reviewers recomend revisions of the manuscript, the final decision on publication will be only after revised manuscript submission and the second round of review.

The Fast-Track option does not exclude the necessary for correct manuscript formatting. Please ensure that the manuscript corresponds to the formatting guidelines for this journal (you can find them on Author Guidelines page).

To activate the Fast-Track option, the submitting author should make payment from his/her personal account on the journal's website after submitting an article. After making the payment and sending the notification to the editor, the authors will receive confirmation by email and within the next 21 days — the results of the article reviewing and the editorial decision.

In opposite to the Fast-Track option authors can use the standart protocol for manuscript selection in our journal (review and editorial workflow). 

 

Immediate Open Access

Through Optional Open Access, authors of accepted papers are given the option of paying an open access publication charge to make their paper freely available online immediately via the journal website, meaning that readers will not need a journal subscription to view open access content. If an author does not choose to pay the open access publication charge, their paper will be published in the normal manner (available by subscription), and will not be made freely available online immediately.

Therefore there will be a mixture of non-open access and open access articles within each journal issue. Open access articles will be clearly indicated on the journal's online contents page. In order to view the non-open access content, a current subscription to the journal will be required. Online, print and combined subscription options will continue to be available to institutions.
