Authors of the accepted papers are responsible to submit a camera-ready paper in electronic form, both in source and PDF formats, according to the "Instructions for Camera-Ready Papers", which may be downloaded here.

All the papers in ComSIS are published under the open access policy.

Copyright and use agreement

Authors are requested to sign the "Transfer of Copyright" agreement before the paper may be published. The copyright transfer covers the exclusive rights to reproduce and distribute the paper, including reprints, photographic reproductions, microform, electronic form, or any other reproductions of similar nature and translations. Authors are responsible for obtaining from the copyright holder permission to reproduce the paper or any part of it, for which copyright exists.

Publication processing fees

From 1st September 2023, publication processing fees are applied to all accepted papers in ComSIS Journal. The fee is applied to all the papers formally accepted upon receiving the acceptance message from the Editor-in-Chief, and before the technical editing. Registering publication fee payment as completed is a formal prerequisite for publishing a paper.

Effective 1 November 2026, the net publication fee for all accepted regular papers is 600 EUR. In accordance with the applicable laws of the Republic of Serbia, the following rules for value-added tax (VAT) apply:

A) VAT rate of 20% will be added on top of the net publication fee, resulting in a total amount charged of 720 EUR (600 EUR + 120 EUR VAT), if the pro forma invoice (pro-invoice, for short) is issued to:

- an individual (natural person);
- a legal entity registered in the Republic of Serbia; or
- a legal entity outside the Republic of Serbia that is not registered for VAT in its country of establishment.

B) VAT will not be charged in Serbia (the reverse charge mechanism applies), and the total amount charged will be 600 EUR, if the pro-invoice is issued to:

- a legal entity outside the Republic of Serbia that is registered for VAT in its country of establishment and pays the invoice. In such cases, the legal entity is responsible for paying the VAT in its country of establishment in accordance with the applicable tax regulations.

Publication Fees for Special Issues

Publication fee that is to be applied for papers accepted for a special issue is confirmed in agreement with the special issue guest editors in advance. As a rule, it is of a higher rate than the standard publication fee for regular papers. The same VAT regulations outlined above apply to publication fees for special issues.

NOTES

This is a publication processing fee, not a submission fee. There is no connection between (the duration of) the review process and the fee.

There are no special page charges. Any paper should not exceed 25-30 pages.

Apart from the charges listed here, no additional hidden charges apply.

Payment methods

All payments are possible via bank transfer only, after a paper acceptance. Bank transfer details info will be submitted to the corresponding author upon receiving the acceptance message.

For wire transfers, OUR payment instruction must be selected, meaning the sender accepts all foreign transaction fees. Payments made using the SHA (Shared) option will be considered as invalid.

Export Restrictions and Legal Provisions

Publishing of accepted papers is available to participants from all countries, except in cases where applicable legal regulations prohibit such participation. The journal reserves the right to refuse the payment of authors from countries or regions subject to restrictions under relevant laws or regulations of the Republic of Serbia.

It is the responsibility of the authors to be aware of and comply with any local laws or regulations that may impact their ability to complete electronic transactions or attend international events. The journal is not liable for any restrictions on a payment resulting from the author's local legal or regulatory framework.

Cancellation

Authors may withdraw their paper from publication prior to the camera-ready version being sent to them for final review. Such withdrawals are strongly discouraged, as they disrupt the editorial and production process. In cases of withdrawal, a non-refundable cancellation fee of EUR 100 will be charged to cover administrative expenses.
