Payment Procedures

Secure payment

When payment is applicable, the corresponding author accesses the payment service through the verified paper record in the Author Portal. The paper ID must match an eligible accepted record before a payment session can begin.

The payment page identifies the journal, paper, amount and currency. Card details are entered through the configured payment provider and are not stored in the journal database. A successful transaction is recorded against the paper and a receipt or voucher is made available through the workflow.

Do not send card numbers or authentication codes by email. For a failed, duplicated or unclear transaction, contact the editorial office with the paper ID and provider reference.
