What is the standard or quality of papers published in ACSIJ?

Like most journals, ACSIJ try to ensure publishing high quality papers. Papers that have a significant contribution, worth for sharing an idea, a concept, a technique or a result, are considered for publication as determined by our reviewers. Typically, acceptance rate varies from 27% to 38%.

ACSIJ publishes a regular issue every two(2) months apart from special issues . Thus, 6 regular issues are published every year. Articles are normally published on the last date of the month.

How is continued Open Access availability of my articles guaranteed?

ACSIJ deposits all of the Open Access articles that it publishes in a number of independent, permanent Open Access archives. ACSIJ is committed to maintain its policy of unconditional open access for research articles.

May I request an extension for submitting my paper?

Yes, you may request an extension; typically an extension for paper submission varies from 4-8 days.

How do I submit my paper?

First, we highly recommend authors to use the ACSIJ paper template to format their papers according to ACSIJ style. Then use the Paper Submission Form to submit. During review, we accept both MSWord and PDF versions. However, final paper submission can be in PDF or MSWord format .

When will I receive an acknowledgment email for my submission?

Paper submissions are normally acknowledged within 1-3 minutes. In case you do not receive any acknowledgment for a submitted paper, please do not resubmit your paper using the Paper Submission Form. Kindly drop us an email at info@ACSIJ.org.

My paper has not been accepted. What do I do now?

Papers not accepted on the first review round are send back to authors either for major revisions or subject to complete reject. In case a paper is not accepted (major revision required), we highly recommend authors to revise and implement the reviewers recommendations and re-submit. Each submitted paper has a maximum of 5 review rounds.

I have submitted my revised paper. What next?

Revised papers are sent to the reviewers concerned to ensure continued evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of the papers. Authors are informed about the publication decision once we receive the reviewers feedback and recommendations.

My paper has been accepted, how do I register it?

Information about paper registration will be provided to you through the registration form once your paper will be accepted for publication. Currently we accept registration fees through Credit Card, Paypal, bank wire transfer (also known as swift transfer).

My paper has been published, but I cannot find it on the Web.

All published papers are normally indexed within 4-6 weeks from the date of publication and thereafter should normally be visible on the Web within 6-8 days.

ePublication Certificate. Why and When?

As a recognition of the author's contribution in ACSIJ proceedings, ACSIJ will issue an ePublication Certificate. The certificates are normally sent (via email) within 1-2 weeks from the date of publication. All certificates will be sent to the corresponding authors only. Co-authors need to contact the corresponding author.

How is ACSIJ funded?

We promise that access to the research published in ACSIJ journal will remain free. However, as there is no charge to access the research, there is an article-processing charge for all published articles.
As a scientific publisher, ACSIJ obviously has to be profitable to survive as a service for the scientific community. We believe that if we add value to raw data, we are entitled to charge for access to it. If a journal commissions topical or thematic reviews, and so helps individuals orientate themselves amidst the complexity of available research, it may have a subscription charge.
However, once again, we promise that access to all research will remain free.

Why does ACSIJ has article-processing charges?

Publishing with open access is not without costs. ACSIJ defrays those costs from article-processing charges, because there is no charge to access its research content, believing instead that immediate, world-wide, barrier-free, open access to the full text of research articles is in the best interests of the scientific community.

Where is my article publication money going?

Publication fees are used to pay for several expenses:

• Manuscript handling from submission to publication
• Electronic composition and production
• Server and website update and maintenance
• Electronic archiving
• ePublication Certificate
• Administrative expenses and other overheads

Comparing ACSIJ charges with other publishers


ACSIJ's article processing charges are extremely competitive. In general, ACSIJ's charges are amongst the lowest of any publisher offering open access publication.
ACSIJ Publication fees

Why a flat charge rather than one based on page numbers?

The size of an article is a poor indicator of the actual amount of work involved in obtaining peer reviews and in preparing the article for publication. A more useful discriminator might be the state an article is in when submitted, and its complexity, but the lack of objective tools to measure these has lead us to conclude that a flat fee is the fairest approach at this stage.
