FAQ

This page addresses common questions from authors and partners about submission, review, publication access, and fee processes before they move into OJS.

1. Submission Route and Preparation

Where Formal Submission Happens

Formal submission is completed through the OJS system. The portal is for journal discovery, policy review, calls for papers, and institutional context rather than workflow replacement.

What to Prepare Before Submission

Authors are generally expected to prepare the manuscript, author details, originality and conflict statements, ethics materials where relevant, and a data-availability note.

2. Review Timelines and Communication

How to Read the Review Timeline

The first-decision timeline shown on journal pages is a reference value. Actual timing depends on discipline, manuscript complexity, reviewer availability, and revision cycles.

How Editorial Notices Are Delivered

Status updates, revision requests, and acceptance notices are usually delivered through OJS notifications and the bound email account, which remain the operational source of truth.

3. Access, Fees, and Support

Access After Publication

Qiuzhen Academic Publishing follows an open-access model. Once published, articles are openly accessible through journal pages and OJS issue entries.

Where APC and Invoice Guidance Lives

APCs, support arrangements, payment guidance, and invoice requirements are disclosed on journal pages, within OJS, and in the Fees & Invoices guide.
