What are your policies regarding copyright over submitted manuscripts?

SCI FORSCHEN only acts as a platform where articles and research material is published and shared with the world. We do not claim any ownership over the product, and encourage our authors to use the Creative Commons Attributes licenses to ensure that they remain the legal owners of the work that they submit to us. However, our open access structure requires that all articles published through us remain accessible for free to the entire community.

How do you calculate the impact of a journal?

Every journal adds value to our collection, but well written manuscripts on topics that are popular and are found useful by a large number of people are considered to have a higher impact. SCI FORSCHEN uses the number of times an article has been cited to calculate its impact

What does SCI FORSCHEN charge for the publication of a manuscript?

SCI FORSCHEN has a variable pricing policy for the publication of an article. We understand that not every scholar has access to the same kinds of resources, and scholars from developing countries in particular are given a hefty discount in order to encourage them. This classification is made based on the economies classified by the World Bank

Low income countries: $950*

Medium income countries: $1450*

High income countries: $2250*

*Charges may vary depending on the journal; please refer to the journal’s page

Once an article has been reviewed and approved for publishing, you need to pay the publication charges before we can include it in our journal.

Why does Sci Forschen charge authors?

As an open access publication, we need to ensure that all articles we publish are always available to the scholarly community. The charges of maintaining a server, domain name, and the cost of getting manuscripts reviewed while ensuring high quality are all things that incur significant expenses. We do not display advertisements on our website, and we also do not levy any form of subscription charges on our users. Thus the cost has to be borne by the authors, to whom we provide a quality medium for sharing their work, and helping them ensure high quality of their manuscripts. Our partner authors, and a limited number of sponsorship offers from universities and corporations are our only means of accruing the funds needed to make SCI FORSCHEN a reality.

How long does it take you to review and publish any manuscript that I publish?

Our standard wait time for any submission is 45 days. Within this time we will review the manuscript that you have submitted to us, get it peer reviewed, and then let you know whether it meets the standards of quality that we have set for our journal.
