Submission of a manuscript will constitute expression of the author’s commitment to defray the cost of publication. There are NO automatically assigned complimentary pages. Page charges are based on the typed, submitted page (not on the printed page and not by the pdf), referred to as “manuscript page”. A publication charge of U.S. $99.95 per manuscript page will be invoiced by our publisher, Elsevier prior to the publication of accepted manuscripts. No payment is due until the review process is completed by our reviewers and the page proofs are prepared by Elsevier. Please note that there are no charges incurred for the Abstract, Title page, or correspondence information. Also, each Table or illustration must be counted as one manuscript page due to the increased production time needed for this material. Extra charges are applied for publication of color graphics.
The proceedings of the Congress will appear in the journal, Transplantation Proceedings.
