The costs related to the submission and publication process in RLAE consist of two fees, called processing fee and publication fee, which are required at different stages of the processing workflow, in addition to the cost of proofreading and translating approved texts. The details of these costs are described below.

Submission of the text to RLAE does not represent a cost for the authors. However, if the text is approved in the pre-analysis phase, the authors must pay the processing fee, so that the manuscript can be forwarded to the peer review process. Payment of the processing fee will be requested by the journal's editorial office by email, and proof of payment must be attached to the ScholarOne Manuscripts system, in PDF format and with legible information. Proof of payment must contain:

Information on payment methods and payment details will be sent to authors by the RLAE’s editorial office.

Authors must be responsible for the costs of grammar review of the article in the language of submission and for translations into other publication languages indicated by the journal, according to the following guidelines:

Grammar review is usually requested from authors before final approval of the manuscript and must be carried out by a company accredited by the journal. The cost of the review is the responsibility of the authors. The negotiation of deadlines and values is carried out directly between the authors and the accredited service providers. It is mandatory to send, together with the revised text, the certification issued by the accredited company. This certificate must be attached to the ScholarOne Manuscripts system, in a specific field (Proofreading certificate).

Authors must review the text before submitting the revised version to the journal. If there are any inadequacies, only one opportunity for correction will be allowed.

Translations are requested from authors after final approval of the manuscript, which must be translated into two additional languages, different from the one in which it was submitted. The editorial office will contact the indicated corresponding author and send all relevant instructions. The negotiation of deadlines and values is carried out directly between the authors and the accredited service providers.

To ensure the quality of translations, only those accompanied by translation certificate(s) issued by one of the companies accredited by RLAE will be accepted.

Authors are required to carefully check the versions of their article before submitting them to RLAE for publication, specifying in the Terms of Agreement that they have done so and found no discrepancies between them (including missing words, absence of paragraphs, mixed languages in the translations, among others). The Terms of Agreement will be sent to the authors by the RLAE’s editorial office, together with other guidelines pertinent to this stage.

After final approval of the manuscript, authors must pay the publication fee so that the approved article can be prepared for publication. Payment of this fee must be made in accordance with the instructions sent by the journal's editorial office by email, and proof of payment, in PDF format, must be presented to the journal's editorial office, also by email.
