"Business Perspectives" is a publisher of high quality peer-reviewed international journals in the fields of management and business administration, marketing, finance and banking. Thank you for your interest in publishing with "Business Perspectives". If you had published with us before or are just looking for information on submitting papers, you will find this site full of useful information. Once a submission is made the Editor will reply with an electronic message that acknowledges the receipt of the manuscript. This electronic message also indicates the manuscript number assigned. This number should be cited in all future correspondence. The Editor will inform an author about the expected volume and issue of the journal where the paper could be published. This lets the authors feel comfortable regarding the reporting to their universities and plan their research activity effectively. We do it within three days after the paper submission. All the papers are published in English. In the case of submission to "Banks and Bank Systems" journals, the papers are also published in Ukrainian. To submit a paper, please send one copy in the form of an MS Word file attached to an e-mail (details in Author Guidelines (PDF Version) below) to the Editor of the relevant journal: "Problems and Perspectives in Management" Journal: "Investment Management and Financial Innovations" Journal: "Innovative Marketing" Journal: "Banks and Bank Systems" Journal: "Insurance Markets and Companies: Analyses and Actuarial Computations" Journal: "Environmental Economics" Journal: "Public and Municipal Finance" Journal: Please send a hard copy supplied with a disc containing a soft copy of the paper to: "Business Perspectives" Publishing Company Proofreading All papers are refereed by the international competent researchers using "double-blind" review which is the best practice in papers reviewing. Methods of submission fee calculation "Non-refundable fee models" 1. "A pure submission fee model". Under this model the author of a paper submitted has to enclose a payment for submission when submitting a paper to the journal. Journals do not accept papers for consideration if the paper submission fee is not enclosed by authors. Almost all journals consider submission fee as non-refundable payment even if the paper has been rejected after reviewing. The range of fees is very high - from USD10 to USD550 with average at USD80. Some time, the journals apply extra fee for non-standard size of the paper. Thus, Japanese Journal of Farm Management says that articles and presentation papers must be accompanied by a fee of 10,000 yen. Any submissions that exceed the page limit in the final printed version will be charged 10,000 yen per extra page, i.e. 10 times higher than standard submission fee taking into account the number of pages in the paper submitted. 2. "Fast-track submission model". This is a version of "a pure submission fee model". The author pays for the reduced time of reviewing his paper by reviewers. Introduced by Review of Finance, the submission fee for the paper submitted is ˆ 800 (or the equivalent US $ amount if the submitter is US based). For a resubmitted "Fast-Track"-manuscript the submission fee is ˆ 400 (or the equivalent US $ amount). If revisions were minor, a reduced fee of ˆ 150 (or the equivalent US $ amount) applies. The guaranteed response time is 14 days, starting the count from the day on which valid payment information has been received from the submitting author. 3. "A membership-submission fee model". Under this model all contributors of papers when submitting their papers to the journal are asked to pay submission fee in amount depending whether the author is a member of respective association or not. Thus, the Journal of Finance which is associated to the American Finance Association applies submission fee of $70 for AFA members or $140 - for non-members. Therefore, to pay a lower submission fee authors are encouraged becoming the members of the respective association paying an extra membership fee. 4. "A subscription-submission fee model". Authors of the papers submitted to the journal are asked to subscribe to the journal and pay a discounted submission fee. Thus, all manuscripts submitted to the Journal of Political Economy must be accompanied by a $125 submission fee for non-subscribers or a $75 submission fee for JPE subscribers. 5. "A two stage fee model", i.e. submission + acceptance fee. Non-refundable fee. Some journals like International Journal of Effective Management or Hereditas make authors enclose manuscript processing fee (non-refundable) and a page fee (flat fee) that would be charged if the paper is accepted for publication. The manuscript processing fee is called as submission fee, and flat fee is called as acceptance fee. Generally, acceptance fee is much higher than submission fee if "a two stage fee" model is applied. Thus, International Journal of Effective Management applies submission fee as USD25 and acceptance fee as USD100. Hereditas - submission fee as EURO100 and acceptance fee as EURO730. 6. "A per word submission fee model". All authors when submitting a paper should pay a fee calculated for number of words in their papers. As widely accepted, the average fee for 1000 words is USD15-20. Some time, journals set a limited number of words in the papers submitted. If this limit is overcome by the authors, the higher fee for extra words is applied (as usual higher than standard fee, i.e. USD40-50 for 1000 words). "Refundable fee models" 7. "A pure acceptance fee model". Under this model the author of a paper submitted has to provide a payment not for submission, i.e. when submitting a paper to the journal. The payment is made only after an official acceptance of the paper for publishing in the journal, i.e. when reviewers and the editor make a decision to publish the paper. Authors have no financial losses when their papers are rejected. 8. "A subscription-acceptance fee model". Authors of the papers accepted for publishing in the journal are asked to subscribe to the journal and thereby avoid paying any fee, even acceptance fee. 9. "An open access-acceptance fee model". Authors of the papers accepted for publishing in the journal are asked to pay for open access to their papers placed on the web-site of the journal. In this case, acceptance fee is reduced remarkably. This facilitates the dissemination of the authors' research among the scientific community. Acceptance fee In comparison with other journals, contributors to the journals of "Business Perspectives" Publishing Company do not have to pay submission fee. We offer a very democratic fee policy to our contributors. We only ask for payment from those authors whose papers have been already reviewed and accepted for publication in the journal. Therefore, all the contributors whose papers have not been accepted do not lose their money. All expenses are covered by the Publisher of the journal. All the authors are invited to participate in an open access program. All visitors of the journal's web-site will be able to read their papers any time placed on the web-site of the Publisher. This will provide the authors with an excellent opportunity to disseminate their own research results. Our web-site (www.businessperspectives.org) is visited per year by more than 20.000 experts in management, marketing, finance and banking from over 60 countries of the world.
