by check, secure online credit card transaction, international money order or bank wire transfer. Payment information is included in the email invoice you will receive.
An Optional Step for Scientific Manuscripts
On some occasions the editor, due to their knowledge of the current
scientific literature, an editor will be able to make additions to the paper in
addition to improving the supplied text itself. If this occurs the editor
will inform you of the suggested additions and or changes. It will be
your decision to choose these suggestions or not, just as it is with
all of the suggestions we make during any editing project. There will
be an additional charge if you want the editor to do some research.
You need to specifically make a request for these more extensive additions.
