We uphold the principles of open-access publishing, ensuring that high-quality cardiology research is freely accessible to the global scientific community. Our Article Processing Charge (APC) is designed to maintain a sustainable publishing model while keeping fees reasonable and transparent.
1. APC Structure
The APC covers the editorial workflow, including manuscript handling, peer review, professional typesetting, online hosting, indexing, and long-term archiving. The fees are as follows:
- Standard APC: 1229 Euros per article
- Fast-Track Review Option: Additional 99 Euros for expedited peer review (Optional)
2. Payment Process
- The APC is payable only after final acceptance of the manuscript.
- Payments are processed securely through Online / Credit Card / Bank Transfer.
3. Refund Policy
- APC is non-refundable once the article has been published.
4. Withdrawal Policy
SCICONX Publishing respects authors’ rights to request manuscript withdrawal but emphasizes that such requests should be made responsibly due to the significant time and resources invested by editors, reviewers, and the publishing team. Authors may withdraw their manuscript without penalty before peer review begins. During peer review, a valid reason—such as ethical concerns, duplication, or submission errors—must be provided. Post-acceptance withdrawal is strongly discouraged, and submitting the same manuscript to another journal without proper justification is considered unethical and may be reported. To offset editorial and processing efforts, a withdrawal fee equivalent to 40% of the Article Processing Charge (APC) may be applied for requests made after peer review starts. The Editorial Office retains the right to approve or decline withdrawal requests, particularly in cases of suspected misconduct or duplication. SCICONX encourages authors to thoroughly evaluate the journal’s scope and policies prior to submission to minimize unnecessary withdrawal requests, ensuring a smooth and ethical publishing process.
5. Transparency and Ethical Compliance
- APCs do not influence editorial decisions.
- Our peer review process is strictly independent of payment.
- JCCD follows the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines on publication integrity.
