Instruction for Authors

Page Charges

Beginning on January 1st, 2019, JAAC will start to charge a per-article fee to the authors who are supported by research grants and funding agencies.  Any accepted article that contains acknowledgment(s) of research fund(s) will be required to pay a per-article charge in the amount of $800. Accepted articles without funding agency support will continue to be published free of charge to the authors. The collected fees will provide necessary financial funding for JAAC to improve its online publications and operations, in order to better serve our authors and readers.
