Publication Process

The procedure for the publication in the IJSPSY is described as follows:

  • After the article is accepted for publication, the author (s) should receive an official acceptance letter at the IJSPSY.
  • Author (s) should comply with the Article Processing Charges (APC).
  • Author (s) should receive an official letter containing a link to the article and a notification that his/her (their) article has been published.
  • After the completion of the layout of the papers accepted for publication, a PDF of each article is sent to the corresponding author to check for errors.
  • The corresponding author is usually given a time frame of approximately three working days to respond. This allows the IJSPSY to work within tight deadlines.
  • Any corresponding author that fails to respond within the stipulated time frame will be deemed to have approved the article for publication, and any error detected after the publication will be the author’s liability. 
  • Suppose an author (s) withdraws his/her paper after the layout is concluded. In that case, any publication fee paid cannot be refunded as this will be used to cover the cost of re-doing the layout (see Refund policy). 
  • The author (s) must sign and return the author’s agreement forms before the start of the layout; without the signed author’s agreement form, a paper cannot be published.
