Dea All , One of my papers was accepted by a journal. They shared an acceptance email and demanded a publication fee. The journal website offers publishing under the Hybird system, and I want to publish under the traditional publishing system (publication without APC). I did not pay the fee; the journal has withdrawn the paper. What remedy do I have? Needs guidance from experts, Thanks
Dear Abdul Rahman It sounds indeed quite strange. All I can think of is that in the very beginning you didn't indicate that you decline the option for open access and 'the system' use a payment as requirement for publication.
Not sure whether this happened but even then it is strange that their decision is withdrawal. Paying or not should never be of influence whether a paper is accepted and published or not.
Can you indicate which journal we talk about here?
Personally I would write to the editor and explain the situation (including the info where it states that your manuscripts is accepted for publication).
Best regards.
Rob Keller Thanks, sir, for your valuable input. Kindly advise any forum I may approach.
