Article Processing Charges 

Olites Publishers provides free, unrestricted online access to the published scholarly articles to everyone across the world. We are convinced that everyone – not only scientists – can benefit from research results, and we publish all our articles exclusively as open access documents, with a Creative Commons attribution license agreement (CC-BY). Readers have the right to use, distribute, and reproduce in any medium, provided the source is properly cited.

The process of publishing articles in online journals is a tedious; As Olites is a self-reliance organization and does not receive any funding from neither from government nor private sectors. Hence, the operation of the Journal is solely financed by the handling fees received from authors and some academic/corporate sponsors.

Article processing charge/ publishing fee enable us to cover the costs associated with editing, typesetting, storing, and archiving of the article, as well as maintaining the most advanced peer-reviewed platform in online publishing. The APC is payable if and when a manuscript is accepted for publication after peer review, but before it is published.

Why does Olites Journal charge processing fee (PF) to publish in its Journals

Olites is a self-reliant organization that does not receive funding from either government or private sectors. As such, the journal is exclusively supported through article processing charges (APCs) paid by authors. We request that authors, their institutions, or funding agencies cover the APCs to support our publication process .Our APCs are competitively priced compared to many emerging publishers, and we offer a range of discounts and flexible options for authors from low- and middle-income countries. Upon acceptance of a manuscript, authors will receive an invoice along with the galley proof. Payment can be made via our secure online payment portal using a credit card or through a bank transfer to the publisher's account as specified in the invoice. As an open-access publisher, Olites does not charge any fees for manuscript submission. Charges are applied only after acceptance, strictly for article processing.

Manuscript Withdrawal Policy

At Olites Publishing, we understand that authors may occasionally need to withdraw a manuscript after submission due to unforeseen circumstances. We strive to accommodate such requests while maintaining the integrity and sustainability of our editorial process.

How to Request a Withdrawal

To withdraw a manuscript, the corresponding author must submit a formal written request via email to the editorial office at olitespublishing@gmail.com. The request must include the following information:

• Title of the manuscript
• Name of the corresponding author
• Reason for the withdrawal

Once the request is received, our editorial office will verify the request with the corresponding author and all co-authors. If the manuscript has already been assigned to an editor or reviewers, they will be informed of the withdrawal.

Withdrawal Charges

• After submission but before acceptance: A minimum processing fee of USD $499 will apply.
• After acceptance but before publication: A charge equal to 50% of the total invoice amount will be required.

These fees help cover administrative and editorial costs incurred during the processing and peer-review stages, which often begin shortly after submission.

Important Considerations

• Authors must ensure that manuscripts are ready for review and comply with all relevant ethical and publishing standards prior to submission.
• Withdrawal requests based on authorship disputes, institutional disagreements, or data ownership issues cannot be considered by the editorial office. Such matters should be resolved by the authors or institutions involved.

We recognize that manuscript withdrawal can be a difficult decision, and we are committed to supporting authors throughout the process. For further assistance or questions regarding withdrawal procedures or article processing charges, please contact us at: olitespublishing@gmail.com
