How it works

Your path from submission to publication.

No upfront fees. No surprises. APC is only triggered after your paper clears editorial review.

Step 01
Submit first — free
Upload your abstract or full manuscript. No payment required at this stage. Our AI matches you to the best-fit journal.
Step 02
Acceptance triggers invoice
Once your manuscript clears peer review and editorial acceptance, your dashboard and email receive a manuscript-specific payment request.
Step 03
Payment workspace
PARJ will open a dedicated billing workspace tied directly to your manuscript. All receipts are stored in your account for later review.
Step 04
Move to production
After payment, your paper moves directly into the production queue — DOI assignment, formatting, hosting, and indexing submission.
What APC covers
  • DOI assignment and full publication preparation.
  • Editorial handling, peer-review coordination, and desk production.
  • Long-term online hosting, archiving, and indexing support.
  • Author certificates and downloadable publication receipts.
How payment appears

PARJ creates the invoice inside your account dashboard, ties it directly to the manuscript tracking ID, and stores the resulting receipt for later review.

Authors, support, and editorial teams all see the same payment state — no screenshots needed, no back-and-forth.

Payment workspace update

The payment system is still being finalized. No payment action is required now.

Accepted manuscripts will receive a direct PARJ notice when billing opens. Your acceptance status and manuscript data are fully preserved.
