Important Notice to all Authors: Manuscript Submission Fee & Article Processing Charge (effective March 2025)
It has become necessary for the Cardiovascular Journal of Africa to charge a manuscripts submission fees for all articles submitted for publication. On acceptance of a manuscript an additional Article Processing Fee will apply before publishing.
Manuscript Submission Fee (Paid on submission of Manuscript):
South African Authors: ZAR 1150 including VAT at 15%.
International Authors: ZAR 1000 no VAT applicable.
Article Processing/Publishing Fee (Paid on Article Acceptance for publication in the CVJA):
South African Authors: ZAR 9775 including VAT at 15%
International Authors: ZAR 9900 no VAT applicable.
This is normal for most, if not all, journals. We so far have been able to survive without charging authors for submissions and processing but can no longer do so. We regret that we have to implement this as of the 13 of December 2016. Payment will need to be made online and once payment has been received, the manuscript will be further processed for possible publication.
The payment of the manuscript submission fee does not guarantee publication of the article. The manuscript submission fee is not refundable in the event of rejection as processing costs will have been incurred.
