6. Important Notes

1.     The APC is payable only after the manuscript has been accepted for publication.

2.     Submission of a manuscript to IJADSMS does not require payment of the APC at the initial submission stage.

3.     Payment of the APC does not guarantee acceptance or publication of a manuscript.

4.     All submitted manuscripts are subject to the journal's editorial screening and peer-review process.

5.     Editorial and peer-review decisions are made independently of any payment or optional service purchased by the author.

6.     Optional grammar correction, language editing, figure redrawing, or formatting services have no influence on the editorial decision or acceptance of the manuscript.

7.     The six-page limit is calculated on the basis of the final journal-formatted and typeset version, not the author's originally submitted manuscript.

8.     Where the final typeset article exceeds six pages, the author will be informed of the applicable Extra Page Charges before final publication.

9.     Applicable taxes, including 18% GST for Indian authors, will be charged in accordance with prevailing regulations.
