Article Processing Charge

Contemporary Studies in Applied Sciences (CAS) charges an Article Processing Charge (APC) of 200USD for manuscripts that are accepted for publication. 

The APC is payable only after a manuscript has been successfully peer-reviewed and formally accepted for publication.

There is no submission fee at the time of manuscript submission. Payment of the APC does not influence the editorial decision or peer-review process. All manuscripts are evaluated according to the journal’s editorial policies, scholarly quality, relevance, and peer-review standards.

Authors will receive payment instructions following the formal acceptance of their manuscript. 

What APC typically covers
• Professional copyediting and proofreading
• Typesetting and XML formatting
• Peer review coordination and management
• Digital platform hosting and archiving
• DOI registration and metadata distribution
• Plagiarism detection and ethics screening
• Marketing and indexing services
