Submission at
http://www.igi-global.com/journals/guidelines-for-submission.aspx *PRIOR*
to submission.
Starting *January 1st, 2021, *this journal will be converting from Hybrid
Open Access to full Gold Open Access and all of its published contents will
be 100% open access and the copyright of the published work will stay with
the author(s). The Article Processing Charge (APC) for this journal is
currently set at *$750 USD* and authors *will not* be asked to provide
payment of the APC fee (directly to the publisher) until *AFTER* their
manuscript has gone through the full double-blind peer-review process and
the Editor-in-Chief at his/her full discretion has decided to accept the
manuscript based on the results of the double-blind peer-review
process. *Please
note that there is absolutely NO correlation between the APC (Article
Processing Charge) being paid by the author and the results of review
process outcomes.*
Those coming from certain *developing countries* will be able to take
advantage of discounts or waivers with careful consideration by IGI
Global’s Executive Editorial Board. Also, authors of submitted manuscripts
can take advantage of IGI Global’s *Read and Publish Open Access Initiative*,
which allows authors who are affiliated with institutions that are
currently subscribed to one or more IGI Global databases to benefit from
APC funding (you can learn more about how this all works here
<https://www.igi-global.com/publish/contributor-resources/open-access/read-publish-model/>).
In the case of a multi-authored work, even if only one author is eligible
for the discount or waiver, all authors of the work will benefit from the
waiver or discount. Additionally, if an author chooses to utilize any of
IGI Global’s Author Services on their manuscript, the amount paid for any
of these author services will be deducted from the final Article Processing
Charge (APC).
Looking forward to your submission! Also, follow the journal on Twitter
