What you need to consider?

Clearly state your affiliation in the article submission process. And please use the e-mail address of your institution for submitting.

This is the procedure

Invoicing and cost coverage

The publication costs (Publish & Read-Fee (PAR-Fee)) are covered by the library through the settlement of tokens. There should be no individual invoices to authors by CUP.
