Journal of Comparative Creative Industries
is an Open Access journal that provides immediate, free availability on the public
internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search
or link to the full text of all published articles. Many authors in a variety of
fields already realized the benefits that open access publishing can provide in
terms of increasing the impact of their work. The cost we charged is for journal
development only, it requires the author or a supporting institution to pay the
costs of the review process, typesetting, online publication and long term archiving,
so that we can continue to provide high-quality, peer-reviewed articles without
charge to readers on the web – ensuring that articles receive the highest exposure
and potential impact associated with open access publishing.

For your added security we suggest you use PayPal to process the payments, the reasons
as follows:
PayPal is a global leader in online payment, available in 190 countries and regions,
and over 20 currencies. PayPal is the most-loved online payment solution for authors.
When you use your credit card through PayPal, SAP is unable to access to your credit
card number, which will minimize the risk of unauthorized use.
PayPal can be used by Credit Card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express),
Debit Card, or E-check (i.e. using your regular Bank Account).
