If a payment plan is agreed upon, the Author is responsible for completing all scheduled payments.

Failure to complete payments may result in removal from the project. The Author remains responsible for any outstanding payments owed.

Unauthorized chargebacks may incur an administrative fee of $300 USD.

Author Responsibilities

Authors are responsible for providing their chapter manuscript and required author materials by the deadlines communicated by the Publisher.

Failure to submit materials by the required deadline may result in removal from the project without refund.

The Publisher reserves the right to remove or decline participation of an author who fails to meet submission deadlines or materially disrupts the collaborative process.
