However, the author needs to pay a minimal amount as withdrawal charge if the article has been processed and accepted for publication. This amount will be utilized to compensate the costs incurred during the process and publication.
Once the article is accepted by the journal, the APC is due on the author. Authors will have sufficient time from the date of submission to acceptance for deciding whether to continue publication or withdraw the submission. So, fee once paid will not be refunded at any situation as the journal publishes articles under Open Access platform, fee paid by the authors will be spent towards the costs associated with the process and publication.
