Page Charges
ISTPress charges a nominal publication cost of $225 (USD) for each
accepted manuscript not exceeding 8 pages and formatted according to IST template. This
cost is to sustain usual running of the press, since ISTPress does not sell research
articles and offers all published articles free of cost. The standard charges of $225
(USD) can be reduced by working as reviewer for ISTPress. For details, refer to the
link of Reviewers Information. ISTPress also realizes the difference of average income
between developed and developing countries, therefore the authors of developing
countries can get a max discount of $50, i.e. if an author is a faculty member or
graduate student of a university of a developing country, he/she is entitled to request
for a 50 USD discount on publication cost. Authors can claim for further discount on
publication cost if they have earned IST credits while carrying out reviews. For
example an author belonging to a developing country, who has also carried out the
review of 2 papers for ISTPress, will be required to pay only $110 as publication cost
for his own accepted manuscript.
Note that final printed pages are in a single-spaced and
double-column format, which is NOT the same as the format for initial
paper submission. Accepted papers will be formatted by authors according to the
template provided. Initial paper submission should be within, but not restricted to, a
maximum of 20 pages (inclusive of all sections and illustrations) with double-line
spacing, single-column per page, and clear fonts with 12-pt size.
A minimum amount of $100 will be charged as publication cost of each
manuscript, even after claiming all sorts of discounts/credits. For papers exceeding
eight printed pages (final camera ready manuscript), inclusive of illustrations, there
is a charge of $20 per additional page. The authors of accepted papers will be required
to send an email to ISTPress to enquire the exact publication cost and preferred mode
of payment.
