Article Processing Charge (APC)

The Journal of Business and Management (JBM) invites articles regarding all areas of business, management, and organizational decisions which would be of interest to academics and practitioners. As a forum of knowledge exchange, the JBM does not charge any fee to the authors for processing the submissions and reviews of their papers. Therefore, we cannot afford to provide reviewers any honorarium. However, the open access on the journal website, the editorial assistance, the typesetting and publication processes, and other services provided by the home office incur daily expenses. In order to maintain these services, starting March 1, 2021, each paper will be charged with the Article Processing Charge (APC) of NT$12000 in New Taiwan Dollar (NT$). If a paper is submitted by a corresponding author from a least developed country (see the UN's LDC list), the author may apply for a 50% discount of the fee in the cover letter. If the paper is accepted for publication, a payment notice will be included in the acceptance letter and the receipt of APC will be issued to the author after the payment is received online.

Please note that submission for reviews remain free of charge with the consent from the author to honor the APC payment once the paper is accepted for publication. We take this opportunity to give special thanks to all the volunteers worldwide who devoted their precious time to review the papers and feedback the comments. To show our appreciation, any reviewer who spent significant effort to complete a high-quality constructive report will receive a NT$3000 APC discount voucher that can be used one time only toward the APC of his/her future publication in JBM.
 
Moreover, JBM is an official publication of ICEB. To support ICEB's annual conferences, the journal allows ICEB active members to submit their ICEB papers for reviews and publish them at a 30% discount (-NT$3600) on the APC fee; while the outstanding papers receive a 60% discount (-NT$7200) and the best papers receive a 100% discount (-NT$12000).

Declaration of Fair Practice

JBM Home Office will:

• Never ask authors to pay a submission fee;
• Never ask authors to pay the APC before the paper receives an "accepted for publication" decision;
• Never publish works in exchange for gifts or money;
• Never falsely claim to represent another publisher or entity;
• Fully abide by the code stipulated in COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics).

Payment Method

For your convenience, we use payment gateway in Taiwan to collect credit card payment in NT$ currency. To pay the APC by credit card, please scan the following QR code or click the hyperlink HERE.

Please enter NT$12,000 in the "Amount" box and your Paper ID in the "Remarks" box. The payment method only works under the "Pay in full" option. (See image below).

Once you finish entering the payment information, the system will ask you to request One Time PIN (OTP) code from your credit card issuing bank to process the 3D verification. When you click on the request OTP option, The card’s bank will send you the code by both email and instant phone message, and the system will pop up a six digit textbox for you to enter the code. After entering the code, a screen will pop up showing the message “Payment successfully complete !” with the “Order Number” and the “Amount (NTD)”.

If you do not receive the code, please contact the bank to make sure the bank received the OTP request. If not, you need to change to another bank's credit card to find the one that works. When you find a bank linked with the payment gateway system, the transaction will work, otherwise, it will never complete.
