Article Processing Charge

All articles published in the ACIE Journal are published in full open access. An Article Processing Charge (APC) applies to all accepted manuscripts to cover the costs of peer review administration, copy editing, typesetting, long-term archiving, and journal management.

Authors pay a one-time APC to cover peer review administration, professional article production (PDF and other formats), and widespread dissemination. A waiver policy is not applicable. There are no submission fees, no charges for rejected articles, and no surcharges based on article length, figures, or supplementary data. Select items—such as Editorials, Corrections, Addendums, Retractions, and Comments—are published free of charge.

Upon submitting a manuscript to the ACIE Journal, the submitting author agrees to assume responsibility for the publication fee. Following acceptance, the article enters production, and the author will be prompted to complete payment. Once final formatting corrections are approved by the author, full payment must be received prior to online publication. Article Processing Charges are non-refundable under any circumstances.
