Confmeets Journals accepts a wide range of scholarly content, including original research articles, review papers, case reports, short communications, clinical studies, editorials.
Yes, all articles published with Confmeets are freely accessible under open access terms. This allows unrestricted reading, sharing, and citation of published content.
Authors must adhere to the detailed submission instructions outlined in the Author Guidelines section available on each journal's page. This includes formatting, file types, word limits, and referencing styles.
We ask that all contributors be finalized during the initial submission or revision phases to ensure a smooth path to publication. While we understand that unique situations arise, adding an author after acceptance is reserved for extraordinary cases. To request a change, you'll need to submit a formal justification along with signed consent from every current co-author. Please be aware that these requests undergo an additional editorial check, which may postpone the final release of your article.
A high-resolution electronic PDF of the final published article will be shared with the corresponding author. These can be freely distributed or archived according to Confmeets' open access and self-archiving policy.

Yes. Authors experiencing genuine financial limitations may request a full or partial APC waiver or discount. Requests are assessed confidentially and independently of peer review and editorial decision-making. Eligibility may consider funding availability, institutional resources, career stage, geographic or financial circumstances, and eligible institutional agreements. Approval and the amount of any waiver or discount are confirmed separately by the administrative/finance team.
Waivers and discounts are not automatic and no fixed percentage is guaranteed unless explicitly confirmed in writing by Confmeets Publishing. Requests should be submitted before the APC invoice is finalized.
Requests are handled confidentially by administrative/finance personnel who are independent of the peer-review decision. Editors and reviewers are not informed of an author's waiver request during peer review.
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.
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.
Authors may request withdrawal of a manuscript at any time before publication by submitting a written request from the registered corresponding-author email address.
No withdrawal fee, administrative fee, or processing charge is imposed for withdrawing an unpublished manuscript, including after peer review or formal acceptance.
Where a manuscript has already been accepted, the journal may request a brief reason for withdrawal for administrative and scholarly-record purposes.
Withdrawal requests involving suspected duplicate submission, authorship disputes, research misconduct, or other ethical concerns may be referred for editorial or research-integrity review. Such investigation does not create a financial withdrawal penalty.
Once an article has been published as the Version of Record, it becomes part of the permanent scholarly record. Published articles are not removed through the ordinary manuscript-withdrawal process.
Where significant errors, ethical concerns, or research-integrity issues arise after publication, the matter is handled through the journal's correction, expression-of-concern, or retraction procedures, as appropriate.
Retracted articles remain part of the scholarly record and are clearly marked and linked to the corresponding retraction notice.
No APC is payable before formal manuscript acceptance.
If an APC has been paid and publication has not yet commenced, a refund request may be submitted to the Finance Office.
Once substantive production services have commenced following payment and author authorization, APC payments are normally non-refundable.
Refunds may nevertheless be issued where appropriate in cases of duplicate payment, payment made in error, publisher billing error, inability of the publisher to complete publication, or other exceptional circumstances approved by the Finance Office.
Refund decisions are administrative/financial decisions and do not influence editorial decisions.
Confmeets Publishing does not charge authors for manuscript submission, initial editorial screening, peer-review evaluation, editorial decision-making, or manuscript withdrawal before publication.
Article Processing Charges (APCs) become applicable only after a manuscript has successfully completed peer review and has been formally accepted for publication. No payment is required to obtain peer review or an editorial decision.
APCs, waivers, discounts, refunds, institutional agreements, and other financial arrangements are administered separately from editorial decision-making.
Editors and reviewers do not make financial eligibility decisions. An author's ability or inability to pay has no influence on peer review, editorial recommendations, acceptance, or rejection.
We employ a single-anonymous review model, in which the identities of the reviewers are concealed from the authors.
The initial review typically takes 1-2 weeks. The total time to final decision depends on the revision process.
Yes. Authors must submit a point-by-point response letter explaining how they addressed each comment in their revision
You will receive constructive feedback to improve your work for submission elsewhere or a future resubmission to us, if invited.
