to the right journal.

A refundable $1 commitment fee is required at submission. This filters low-effort submissions and ensures editorial capacity goes to serious authors. The $1 is fully credited toward your APC if your work is accepted.

The Article Processing Charge ($20 USD) is charged only after your manuscript is accepted. You never pay for a rejection. The $1 commitment is deducted, so the net charge is $19 at acceptance.

Our editorial team reviews your abstract using subject expertise and AI-assisted analysis to identify the best-fit journal in the PARJ network. You are notified before peer review begins and may request a different journal if needed.

Most manuscripts receive an initial decision within 4–6 weeks of entering the review queue. The full submission-to-publication cycle averages 8–12 weeks for accepted papers, depending on revision rounds and journal throughput.

Indexing varies by journal but the network covers Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science, EBSCO, DOAJ, AJOL, and CrossRef DOI registration. Each journal's full indexing profile is visible before you accept a match.

If rejected, no APC is charged. You receive reviewer comments to guide revision. You may resubmit as a fresh submission (a new $1 commitment applies), optionally targeting a different journal in the network.

No. PARJ requires exclusive submission. Simultaneous submissions constitute a breach of publishing ethics and will result in immediate withdrawal and forfeiture of the commitment fee. Withdraw from the other venue first, then submit freely.
