When you choose to submit an article for review at Expert Journals, this manuscript should not have been published or submitted anywhere else. If at any point on the duration of the double-review process, you, as the corresponding author change your mind about your article publication at Expert Journals, you should contact us and inform us of this decision, so that we can stop the peer review.
As mentioned before, Expert Journals charges publication fees upon article acceptance, not submission fee. This publication process has great benefits for authors because the APC payment is due only if manuscript is accepted.
However, the double peer-review at Expert Journals involves Editorial and Reviewer evaluations that take time and effort. Fair dealing means that the Author should respect this value-adding process and continue the publication process related to the payment of the APC at the end of the review process. Of course, there are no Author-related obligations at any time.
