Paper Prints Policy

The Software Engineering and Artificial Intelligence Systems journal operates with a digital-first approach to publication, promoting open access and global dissemination of research. However, for those requiring physical copies of the journal or individual articles, we offer a paper print service with the following policies:

1. Print Availability:
   Printed copies of the journal are available upon request. Authors, subscribers, and interested parties can order printed issues or specific articles from the journal’s archive. Print editions are provided for special requests or institutional needs, with priority given to universities, research institutions, and libraries.

2. Print Order Process:
   To order printed copies, individuals must submit a formal request via the journal's official website or email. The request should include the specific issue or article(s) desired, along with the required quantity. A detailed order form, including pricing information, will be provided upon request.

3. Pricing and Payment:
   The cost for printed copies is determined by factors such as the number of pages, the number of copies requested, and shipping charges. Pricing details will be made available on the order form. Payments can be made via secure online payment methods, including credit cards and bank transfers.

4. Production Time and Shipping:
   Printed copies are produced on-demand. The production time typically ranges from 7 to 14 business days, depending on the quantity ordered. Shipping times will vary based on the destination and shipping method selected during the ordering process. Shipping fees are calculated separately based on the destination.

5. Environmental Considerations:
   The journal encourages sustainability and minimizes the environmental impact of paper printing. As such, printed copies will only be produced when requested, and digital versions of all articles will remain the preferred format for access to the journal. We also encourage readers to access content digitally to reduce paper waste.

6. Quality Assurance:
   The journal ensures that printed copies meet the highest quality standards. All printed issues will be professionally bound and printed on high-quality paper to match the standard of academic publishing.

7. Limited Editions:
   Occasionally, special editions of the journal or specific thematic issues may be printed in limited quantities for special events, conferences, or institutional collections. These editions may feature additional content such as guest editorials or highlighted articles.

8. Refund and Returns:
   Due to the custom nature of print-on-demand services, printed copies are non-refundable once produced. However, if there is an issue with the print quality or if the wrong article/issue was printed, customers may contact the journal’s customer service for assistance and resolution.

9. Digital and Print Access:
   In alignment with the journal’s commitment to open access, all content published in the Software Engineering and Artificial Intelligence Systems journal remains freely accessible online. Printed copies are provided as a supplementary service and do not affect the free availability of the journal's digital content.
