The fee is not refunded for rejected articles. The remuneration process is organized in accordance with the Interuniversity Board (ÜAK) Associate Professorship Criteria.
In addition, in order to support our researchers from low-income countries and graduate students who are not working in any public/private sector, a 30% discount will be provided to them if they submit the relevant documents.
