A: It may take anywhere from a few months to a year or more. The longer time generally occurs only if an author takes several months to revise the paper. Q: Is there a charge to publish papers in the print journals? A: We request payment of a publication charge of $875 per full-length paper, $375 per Note, and $275 per Comment.

The policy recognizes that research results frequently are published in journals that do not carry advertising and are published by nonprofit organizations. frequently asked questions by institutions What is the archive subscription?A: Institutions may pay an annual fee for each journal to have access to the entire archive for that journal as long as it has a current subscription.
