Payment Process
Upon editorial acceptance of an article, the corresponding author will receive an email containing invoice. You need to arrange payment unless a waiver has been granted.
We advise prompt payment as we are unable to publish accepted articles until payment has been received.
Payment can be made by only wire transfer to Lectito’s bank account. The account info for the transfer will be provided on the invoice.
No taxes are included in this charge. If you are resident in any European Union country you have to add Value-Added Tax (VAT) at the rate applicable in the respective country. Institutions that are not based in the NETHERLANDS and are paying your fee on your behalf can have the VAT charge recorded under the EU reverse charge method, this means VAT does not need to be added to the invoice. Such institutions are required to supply us with their VAT registration number. If you are resident in Japan you have to add Japanese Consumption Tax (JCT) at the rate set by the Japanese government.
