IJEK does not sell online published manuscripts and offers all published manuscripts free of charge to all authors and researchers. Open access allows the research community to view and download any published manuscript without subscription, enabling further distribution of publications compared to the traditional subscription-based publishing model. The publication costs of a manuscript are typically paid from an author's research budget or by their supporting institutions.
As costs are involved in every stage of the publication process such as manuscript handling form submission to publication, peer-review, copy-editing, typesetting, tagging and indexing of articles, electronic composition and production, hosting the final article on dedicated servers, electronic archiving, server and website update and maintenance, supporting sales and marketing costs to ensure global dissemination and administrative overheads, IJEK is now forced to charge an article publication fee.
A publication fee of £180 is therefore payable for each manuscript ACCEPTED for publication. The publication fee is payable prior to publication. Accepted papers would only be processed for publication upon receipt of the publication fee.
11. Submission Method:
Manuscripts should be submitted by email to: editorbloomfield(AT)post(DOT)com.
