International Journal Press is a digital-only scholarly publisher. We do not sell or ship any physical goods, so no shipping, courier, or delivery charges apply. This policy explains what is delivered when an article is accepted and (where applicable) an Article Processing Charge is paid.
1.What “delivery” means
The service we deliver is the open-access publication of your accepted article. On publication you receive:
- The Version of Record published on the journal website, freely accessible under CC BY 4.0;
- A registered DOI (via Crossref) and complete article metadata;
- Open-access hosting and long-term preservation (PKP PN / LOCKSS);
- Distribution to relevant indexing and abstracting services; and
- An electronic publication certificate, where offered by the journal.
2.How it is delivered
All delivery is electronic. The published article appears on the journal website at ijpress.com, and the corresponding author is notified by email at the address provided during submission. There is no physical product, courier, or postal shipment.
3.Delivery timeline
Peer review typically targets a turnaround of around four weeks. Following acceptance and (where applicable) successful APC payment, the article is moved into production and published, typically within 30 days (one month) of acceptance and payment, depending on copy-editing and proofing. Exact timelines depend on the volume of revisions and author responsiveness at the proof stage.
4.Payment before delivery
Where an APC applies, it is collected after acceptance through our payment-gateway partner, Razorpay. During the launch period the standard APC is currently USD 0 (waived). Payment, where due, is a step in the production workflow and does not influence the editorial decision, which is already final at the point of acceptance.
5.Need help with a delivery?
If your published article does not appear, the DOI does not resolve, or you have not received an expected certificate, contact [email protected]. Unresolved issues can be escalated through the Contact & Grievance process, with acknowledgement within 48 hours.
