  • Are APC waivers or discounts available?

    Confmeets offers partial Article Processing Charge (APC) waivers for eligible authors, particularly those from low-income regions or institutions. Discounts may also apply based on:

    Type of article :

    Manuscript quality and editorial evaluation

    Ongoing journal promotions or partnerships

  • Is there a plagiarism check during the review process?

    Yes. All submissions undergo a rigorous plagiarism screening before peer review. We adhere to strict academic ethics and reserve the right to reject submissions with unoriginal or plagiarized content.

  • Can I change or add funding information after APC payment?

    No. Funding information must be finalized before invoice generation and APC payment. Once payment is completed, the manuscript enters the final production stage, and funding details cannot be modified as a routine practice.

  • Is it possible to withdraw my manuscript after the final proofs or invoice are prepared?

    Once your article has reached the final production stage after the PDF proof has been generated, the galley proof has been approved, or the publication invoice has been issued we are unable to accept withdrawal requests. This is because significant editorial, production, and administrative work have already been completed to ready your work for publication at this point.

  • Can an article be withdrawn after publication?

    No. Once an article is officially published on the journal platform, withdrawal requests cannot be accepted under any circumstances.

  • Is a refund possible after the Article Processing Charge (APC) has been paid?

    No. APC payments are strictly non-refundable after publication. These charges support essential publishing services, including editorial assessment, peer review coordination, article production, and long-term digital hosting.

  • Why are withdrawals and refunds not permitted after publication?

    Upon publication, articles become part of the permanent academic record. Allowing post-publication withdrawals or refunds would undermine scholarly transparency, citation stability, and the integrity of the research archive.
