Payments

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:

1. Online processing — directly from the submission profile in the editorial workflow system of the journal.
2. 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.
