Article Processing Charge

We provide open and free online access for reading, distribution, and reuse of all articles published in the Collection. The article processing charge is used to cover the costs of the editorial process and related operations.

The article processing charge is 1200 UAH. The price takes effect from January 1, 2026.

Articles submitted by third-level higher education candidates (Doctor of Philosophy/PhD students) who are enrolled in state-funded study programs and authored individually (without co-authors) are exempt from any fees related to manuscript processing, peer review, and publication in the journal.

The founder and publisher of the electronic scientific and practical journal “Intellectualization of Logistics and Supply Chain Management” is Viold LLC, a company that is a 5% single tax payer and is not a VAT payer.

Once the article is accepted for publication, we will issue an invoice, which may be paid either by the authors directly or by a third party.

We recommend making the payment in a timely manner, as the article is published in the Collection only after the funds have been received. In the event of late payment, the Editorial Board reserves the right to withdraw the article from publication. If the authors refuse to pay the fee or fail to provide feedback within 10 days from the date the invoice is issued, the article will be removed from publication.

The speed of payment and the amount of the fee do not affect the editorial decision or the duration of the editorial process.

Structure of the Article Processing Charge

We adhere to the principles of Plan S developed by “cOAlition S” regarding transparency of article processing charges. Below is information on how the collected funds are allocated:

• DOI registration
  purchasing a service package from an authorized provider to ensure DOI assignment for both the article and the Collection.
• General administration
  accounting, legal services, and taxes.
• Editorial process
  administrative support throughout all stages of editorial review.
• Technical maintenance
  updates and technical support for tools and platforms.
• Innovation implementation
  development and integration of innovative solutions and technological improvements.

Payment Terms

Payment may be made in any convenient way, either through a bank institution or online, based on the issued invoice.
When paying the article processing charge, the payment reference must include the number and date of the invoice being paid.

Refund Policy

Refunds are issued only for valid reasons that make publication impossible after the completion of the editorial process.

Refunds are not provided in the following cases:

• withdrawal of the article by the authors;
• retraction or correction of the article by the Editorial Board;
• force majeure circumstances;
• the presence or absence of the article on third-party platforms.
