Online Publishing—Manuscript Handling Fee
Auto/Fiction Journal is a self-supporting establishment and does not receive funding from any institution/government. Recently the journal introduced open access publishing (Open Select) of some articles. The management of the open access articles is solely financed by the handling fees received from authors/contributors. The manuscript handling fees are required to meet operations expenses starting from internet services, web hosting to payment of salaries to its employees. The online publishing (of the open access articles) does not receive payment for subscription as the articles are freely accessible over the internet. Authors are required to pay a fair manuscript handling fee for the processing of their articles. However, there are no submission charges. Authors are required to make payment only after their manuscripts have been accepted for online publication. The publication fee is decided by the editorial committee of the journal on case to case basis. The committee may also grant waivers to some the authors, if they are eligible for a waiver.
