General information about paid services available to the authors of the journal
The review of the author's manuscripts submitted for publication in the journal is carried out on a fee basis.
Payment for the review of the manuscript does not guarantee the publication of the article and provides the editorial board with complete freedom to select materials for publication in the journal.
Manuscripts approved by the editorial board are published without charging additional fees to the authors.
The fee for reviewing the manuscript does not lead to the formation of any financial interest of the editorial staff in the number of published articles and, therefore, does not reduce the quality of the selection of manuscripts.
In addition to paying for the review of the manuscript, the publisher offers the authors a number of additional paid services, the choice of which also does not affect the outcome of the review of the manuscript and the decision of the editorial board to publish the article.
The editor-in-chief has the right to compile a list of categories of authors:
- The publication fee is not charged
- Eligible for a discount

- presentation of an article and the peer-review results for the Editorial board;
- communication with authors on all the Editorial board's decisions.
ATTENTION! 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
Price: 1100.00 (USD)
NON-OBLIGATORY PAYMENT
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.
If you choose “Fast-Track” for your manuscript the fee is US$1100.
Please note, that the “Fast-Track” option does not guarantee a positive review and acceptance of a manuscript itself. It's only brings an extreme fast time schedule for manuscript processing through all editorial procedures. Thus, if the manuscript receives negative reviews, and if the editorial board will take the side of reviewers, the manuscript will be rejected. If the reviewers recommend revisions of the manuscript, the final decision on publication will be only after revised manuscript submission and the second round of review.
For the Fast-Track users we guarantee:
- the response time (report and decision letter) is 21 days, starting from the first business day on which valid payment information has been received from the submitting author.
- publication (in case of manuscript acceptance) is a nearest upcoming issue of the journal.
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).
Payment can be made by:
- Online processing — directly from the submission profile in the editorial workflow system of the journal.
- In case of previous protocol failing, download and fill in invoice request and send it to the Editorial Board
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.
Immediate Open Access
Price: 500.00 (USD)
OPTIONAL PAYMENT
(this will NOT abrogate the Peer-Review decesion-based article selection).
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.
Payment can be made by:
- Online processing — directly from the submission profile in the editorial workflow system of the journal.
- In case of previous protocol failing, download and fill in invoice request and send it to the Editorial Board
