From manuscript to next steps
A clear process.
An informed author.
Discuss your manuscript, choose a journal and agree the package. No payment to PublicationHelp is required before journal acceptance.
- 01
Discuss your manuscript
Share your research field, manuscript stage and institutional requirements. No upfront payment is required.
- 02
Choose a journal together
Agree on a suitable target journal, support tasks and total package price before proceeding.
- 03
Prepare and complete review
Follow submission progress and discuss editorial requirements. Authors approve the material; the journal independently decides acceptance.
- 04
Pay after acceptance
Payment to PublicationHelp is requested only after the journal confirms acceptance. Acceptance and publication dates are not guaranteed.
Keep responsibilities clear
Authors review the final manuscript, confirm authorship and approve any submission. Journal editors determine suitability for review, and the journal's editorial process determines acceptance.
No payment before journal acceptance
Payment to PublicationHelp is requested after the journal confirms acceptance. This is a payment commitment, not a promise of acceptance. PublicationHelp does not control editorial decisions.
Understand the quotation
A quotation should identify the service deliverables, service fee, expected delivery and any included revision rounds. Any publisher or journal charge should be stated separately.
