How to Request an Article Processing Charge Discount or Waiver?

  • Before submitting your manuscript online, you could contact a specific journal's Managing Editor with the following information:
    Your name and institution with full address details;
    Reason for applying for a waiver or discount;
    Title of your paper;
    Places of residence of all authors.

When Is the Article Processing Charge Payable?

After any discounts or waivers are taken into account, charges are payable once the manuscript has been accepted for publishing.

How do I Pay?

Once a manuscript is accepted for publication, the corresponding author will be notified to confirm the invoice information and complete the payment.
