Article Processing Charge (APC) Policy
Journal of Automation, Mobile Robotics and Intelligent Systems (JAMRIS) is an open-access journal freely available to all readers. To publish in Journal of Automation, Mobile Robotics and Intelligent Systems (JAMRIS), authors are asked to pay the article publication fee (APC), which applies to the articles accepted for publication after peer-review and possible revision of the article.
Article Processing Charge covers costs of publishing, online hosting, and long-term archiving of articles published in JAMRIS.
Articles are published both online on the journal's website and in print.
The maximum time for completion of the service — from payment confirmation to publication — is 180 days, depending on the editorial schedule.
There are no charges for rejected articles, no submission fees, and no surcharges based on of an article length. Once an article receives two positive reviews and the author has addressed all required revisions, the author must pay the APC into the publisher’s designated bank account within fourteen (14) days. If the APC is not paid within the specified time, the article will be returned to the author without further action. In cases of incomplete payment, the publisher will notify the author and request the outstanding amount. If the full payment is not completed within fourteen (14) days of the notification, no further action will be taken, and the article will not be processed to publication.
