Article Processing Charge (APC) & Fee Management for Open Access Journals

Separating Editorial Decisions from Financial Administration

COPE guidelines dictate that editorial decisions must never be influenced by whether an author can pay an Article Processing Charge (APC).

Manna handles APC invoicing, waiver workflows, and payment tracking in a parallel administrative portal that is invisible to peer reviewers and section editors during evaluation.

Once an article is accepted on scholarly merits alone, the automated billing module generates compliant institutional invoices and payment links.
