Service and article processing charge (APC)

The only paid service on this site is the Article Processing Charge (APC) — a publication fee that covers the editorial and production costs of an article accepted for publication: editorial support, administration of peer review, scientific and language editing, proofreading, layout, production of PDF/XML, DOI registration, hosting, archiving and indexing of the published article. The service is intangible (electronic) and is provided to the Author or to the institution or organisation paying on the Author’s behalf.

No goods are sold on this site. No physical shipment or delivery by courier or postal services is carried out.

Important: the APC is charged only after the manuscript has been accepted for publication following independent peer review. Payment of the APC in no way influences the decision of the editorial board, the peer review process or the scientific assessment of the manuscript. No invoice is issued for a rejected manuscript.

Terms and conditions of the service

How the service is provided

The Author submits a manuscript through the website of the relevant journal. Submission of a manuscript is free of charge.
The manuscript undergoes editorial screening and independent peer review. Peer review usually takes 14–30 days.
If the manuscript is accepted, the editorial office sends the Author an acceptance letter and an invoice for the publication fee, stating the amount and providing a payment link.
The Payer pays the fee using one of the methods listed in the section “Payment methods”.
Once the payment has been received, the article is edited, typeset, assigned a DOI and published in the next issue of the journal.

Time frame and form of the service

The service is provided in electronic form. The published article becomes freely available on the website of the relevant journal in open access format (licence Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International) within 90 calendar days of the date the funds are credited, but no later than the release date of the issue in which the article is included.

The Payer receives an electronic receipt from the WayForPay service at the email address provided during payment.

The service is provided to authors from all countries. As the service is intangible, no goods are dispatched and no delivery (courier services, Nova Poshta, Ukrposhta, etc.) is carried out.

Payment methods

Visa and Mastercard payment cards (including Google Pay and Apple Pay) — online via the WayForPay service.
Bank transfer against an invoice issued by the Publisher (for institutions, universities and grant funds) — the bank details are given in the section “Contacts and details”.

The settlement currency is the Ukrainian hryvnia (UAH). If the card is issued in another currency, the conversion is performed by the issuing bank at its own rate; the issuing bank may also charge its own fee.

Payment security

Card payments are made on the secure page of the WayForPay service, which is certified to the PCI DSS standard and uses 3-D Secure technology (Visa Secure, Mastercard Identity Check). Card data (number, expiry date, CVV2/CVC2) are entered on the payment service side and transmitted in encrypted form. Publishing House Zaslavsky has no access to these data, does not store them and does not pass them to third parties.

Personal data

In order to provide the service, the Publisher processes the personal data of the Author/Payer (surname and first name, email address, place of work and, for invoices, the details of the paying institution) in accordance with the Law of Ukraine “On Personal Data Protection”. The data are used exclusively for the purposes of the publication process and of accounting and tax records, and are not passed to third parties, except for the payment service and state authorities in the cases provided for by law.

Refund and transaction cancellation policy

The publication fee is a payment for a service, not for goods, therefore the rules on the exchange and return of goods do not apply to it. The rules set out below apply.

Funds are refunded in full if:

the payment was made twice (duplicate transaction), or an incorrect or excessive amount was transferred;
the payment was made as a result of a technical error of the site or of the payment service;
the Publisher is unable to publish the accepted article for reasons attributable to the Publisher;
the article is withdrawn by the Author or by the editorial board (for example, if plagiarism or another breach of the Ethics Policy is detected) before it is published on the journal’s website.

Funds are not refunded if:

the article has already been published on the journal’s website (the service has been provided in full), including where the Author subsequently asks to withdraw or retract the article;
the Author declines the service after the editorial and production work has been completed — to the extent of the costs actually incurred by the Publisher.

Refund procedure

To obtain a refund or cancel a transaction, send an email to zaslavsky1966@gmail.com with the subject “Refund”, stating the surname and first name of the Payer, the title of the article and the journal, the date and amount of the payment and the reason for the request. The Publisher reviews the request within 3 working days and, if it is granted, returns the funds within 5–10 banking days to the same payment card or the same bank account from which the payment was made. Refunds to another card or account are not made. The refund is made in the currency of the payment; exchange rate differences and fees charged by the issuing bank are not reimbursed by the Publisher.

A transaction for which the funds have not yet been finally debited may be cancelled at the Payer’s request on the day it was made — send a request to the email address given above.
