Publication Fee

The Journal of Continuing and Development Education (JCDE) strives to maintain high standards of academic publishing while being transparent about our publication fees. To cover the costs associated with the review, editing, and publication processes, we have established the following fee structure:

1. Vetting Fee

• Amount: N5000
• Description: This upfront fee is required to initiate the review process. It covers the initial screening and administrative costs associated with manuscript submission.
• Payment Timing: Payable at the time of manuscript submission.

2. Publication Fee

• Amount: N28000
• Description: This fee is charged upon acceptance of the manuscript for publication. It covers the costs of peer review, copyediting, proofreading, typesetting, and online hosting.
• Payment Timing: Payable after the manuscript has been accepted for publication.

Payment Instructions:

• Authors will receive payment instructions upon acceptance of their manuscript.
• Payment can be made through bank transfer, credit card, or other specified methods as communicated by the editorial office.

Refund Policy:

• The vetting fee (N5000) is non-refundable as it covers the costs of the initial review process.
• The publication fee (N28000) is only applicable if the manuscript is accepted for publication. No additional fees will be charged post-acceptance.
