Manuscripts will not be processed until all Processing Fees have been paid. All articles are peer reviewed. This $35.00 fee is not refundable if the article is rejected. Article Publication Fee: If the article is accepted, there is a $150.00 Publication Charge, that will be billed to and must be paid by the submitting author following the acceptance of the article for publication. Accepted articles will not be published until the publication fee is received.
