If you are submitting a manuscript from within National Cheng Kung University's IP range and NCKU E-mail domain, the discount will be automatically applied. If you are submitting a manuscript from outside of National Cheng Kung University's IP range, suggest you to use VPN service to change IP address to IP range of NCKU. And you can follow the submission process as normal. On the APC agreement page, select the option I believe that I am covered by an institutional membership arrangement, then select your institution from the drop-down list. If you are not sure whether submission is covered by the NCKU membership, please send an email to library with this file. We will help you to check it as soon as possible. However there is an important notice: if the manuscript has been accepted, the membership will not allowed to change status. |
