For authors
Fees and Payment
Two transparent fees, what they cover and how to pay.
| Fee | Amount | When it is paid |
|---|---|---|
| Review and plagiarism check | ₦5,000 | At submission. Your manuscript goes to the editors once payment is confirmed. |
| Publication | ₦20,000 | Only after your manuscript has been accepted. Never before a decision. |
What the fees cover: Review administration, similarity checking, copy-editing, formatting, production and website maintenance.
Payment of fees does not guarantee acceptance. All editorial decisions are based solely on scholarly merit.
Payment methods
Fees are paid securely online through Paystack by card, bank transfer or USSD. JHTS never sees or stores your card details. You receive an emailed receipt and can download it from your dashboard at any time.
