►PT does not receive any submission charges from authors.

►Article processing charges (used as Journal’s maintenance cost only).

 

PT is a self-supporting journal and does not have funding from any institution/government. Hence, the management of the journal has to be solely financed by the article processing charges (APC) received from authors / their academics/donors. The APC is requested to meet maintenance of different expenses such as website maintenance, hosting, domain, application development, DOI, plagiarism checking, ejmanager (online submission, review, and editorial system), SEO services, proofreading, typesetting of article’s PDF, and so on. In addition, minor English language editing will be done by our journal copyeditor without any cost to the authors. However, authors might be asked for external Language editing if the manuscript's English is not acceptable. 

• Thus, authors will be requested to pay an APC@75 USD only for their accepted articles. 
• Specific APC payment information will be provided through e-mail after acceptance of the manuscript. 

NOTE: If the authors face any difficulty in making a payment or if the authors want to pay through other ways, please send us an e-mail at pteditorialoffice@gmail.com or pteditorialoffice@bsmiab.org. We will respond to the authors with further instructions on how to proceed with payment by bank transfer or any other means for payment of the APC. Under special circumstances, the APC payment can be waived up to 100%. However, no discount/waiver request on the APC is considered after the submission of the article on our submission system.
