Article processing charges (APCs) cover the cost of publication in the journal; in recognition of the varying editorial time and effort involved in publishing different article types, from administrating peer review to copy-editing and hosting.
Requests for manuscript withdrawal will not be accepted once the manuscript has undergone peer review or galley production. Authors will have a period of 7 days from the date of submission to withdraw their manuscript. After the initial 7-day period, our editorial team will commence the review process, and the manuscript will no longer be eligible for withdrawal.
If a manuscript is withdrawn after one week of its initial submission, a 50% charge of the article processing fee will be applied. It's important to note that there are no charges for submitting a manuscript or for articles that have been rejected.
