Refund Policy
The International Journal of Computational and Biological Sciences (IJCBS) is committed to transparency and fairness regarding publication fees. The journal provides clear guidelines for refund requests under specific circumstances.
Key points of the policy:
-
Eligibility: Refunds are considered only if a manuscript is withdrawn before peer review or in cases of journal error (e.g., duplicate payment, technical issues).
-
Non-Refundable Fees: Fees paid for accepted or published articles, or after peer review has commenced, are generally non-refundable, as these cover editorial and administrative work already performed.
-
Request Procedure: Authors seeking a refund must submit a written request to the editorial office with payment details and the reason for the refund.
-
Processing Time: Approved refunds are processed within 30 days of confirmation.
-
Partial Refunds: In exceptional cases, the editorial team may offer partial refunds depending on the stage of manuscript processing.
Objective: This policy ensures fair handling of publication fees while maintaining the integrity of the journal’s operations and respect for editorial efforts.
