New peer review system for APEX

From November 2018, all new submissions to APEX and regular issues of JJAP will be managed using a new ScholarOne peer review system. This new system has been configured by JSAP and IOP Publishing to provide an efficient service to authors, reviewers and editors.

Submissions made to APEX prior to 19 November 2018 will continue to be managed using the previous peer review system. Links to this system will be found in any correspondence relating to those articles.

Contact details for many users have been transferred from the previous system to ScholarOne, but users will need to reset their passwords when using the site for the first time. A single user account will work across both the APEX and JJAP ScholarOne sites.

A change to publication charges and open access APCs for APEX and JJAP

To simplify the process of publication in APEX, the Editorial Board has chosen to replace the old system of page charges with a per-article publication charge. This change will ensure that authors know exactly what they will be charged upon publication, before they submit their article. The new charges will come into effect for articles published in the 2019 volume onwards. A change to the open access APC will also come into effect at the same time.

Full information about the new charges can be found on our Publication charges page.
