About the Journal
Author fees
The journal charges a set publication fee of USD$525, or South African R8000 for accepted manuscripts. Once the manuscript has been accepted the processing charges become due. No refunds will be made. The journal does however have procedures in place to consider reduced publication fees in cases where there are financial needs from authors. These requests will be evaluated on a case by case basis.

Peer review
All submitted manuscripts who passed the initial screening will be submitted for peer review. A double blind peer review system is followed. The identities of both reviewers and the authors are kept secret in order to ensure objectivity and no reviewer will review a submission for an author from his or her institution. The reviewers selected for the review process are all experts in their fields and at least two reviewers from different institutions will be used. In the case of conflicting reviews a third reviewer will be used to review the manuscript. The review process takes between four and six weeks.
