What is the difference between the two packages?
Read & Remark (RM250) gives you written remarks and recommendations, and you revise the manuscript yourself. Read & Amend (RM300) includes the same remarks and our team also makes the amendments for you.
Does this guarantee my manuscript will be accepted?
No. These are optional services. Buying a package does not guarantee acceptance and has no influence on IJSE peer review or editorial decisions. See our Peer Review and Publication Ethics policies.
How do I pay?
Orders are paid online at checkout through our payment provider, CHIP, by FPX online banking or card. IJSE does not see or store your banking passwords or full card details. See the Terms and Conditions of Sale.
Can I get a refund?
Please read our Refund Policy. If you have a problem with your order, contact us with your order number.
Is my manuscript kept confidential?
Yes. The manuscript you upload at checkout is attached only to your order and is handled as a confidential document by the IJSE Editorial Office. See our Privacy Policy.
