Paper Prints Policy

1. Purpose The Eco AgriTech Frontiers Journal (EATFJ) is committed to providing high-quality academic content in both digital and print formats. This Paper Prints Policy outlines the conditions under which printed copies of journal articles or issues may be requested, the procedures for ordering prints, and the costs associated with this service.

2. Availability of Paper Prints Printed copies of individual articles or full journal issues are available to authors, subscribers, and institutions upon request. Due to the journal’s commitment to open-access publishing, digital copies of all articles are freely available. However, printed versions are offered as an optional service for those who prefer physical copies for personal or institutional use.

3. Ordering Printed Copies

  • Individual Articles: Authors and readers may request printed copies of individual articles published in the journal. These prints will include the article, title page, and citation details.
  • Full Journal Issues: Subscribers, institutions, and libraries may request printed copies of full journal issues. Each issue will include all the articles published in that particular volume.
  • Custom Orders: Special print requests (e.g., for specific formatting or additional materials) may be considered based on availability and a separate quotation.

To order paper prints, please contact the journal’s editorial team at [journal’s contact email] with the following details:

  • Article title and issue number
  • Number of copies required
  • Delivery address
  • Contact information

4. Costs and Payment

  • Cost of Paper Prints: The cost for printed copies will vary based on the number of pages, the number of copies requested, and the shipping destination. A price estimate will be provided upon request.
  • Shipping Fees: Shipping costs are additional and depend on the delivery address (domestic or international).
  • Payment Method: Payments for paper prints can be made via credit card, bank transfer, or other payment methods available through the journal’s payment system. Full payment must be received before processing and shipping the order.

5. Processing and Delivery Time

  • Order Processing: Once the payment is received, orders for paper prints will be processed. Authors and readers will receive an email confirmation of their order.
  • Delivery Time: The estimated delivery time for paper prints is approximately 2–4 weeks for domestic orders and 3–6 weeks for international orders, depending on the shipping method and destination.
  • Shipping Notifications: A tracking number will be provided for shipments, so that customers can monitor the delivery status of their order.

6. Limited Availability While paper prints are offered, they are printed on demand. Therefore, printed copies are available only while supplies last. If a particular issue or article is no longer available in print, the journal will notify the requester and offer alternative solutions, such as printing from the digital archive or requesting future print runs.

7. Return and Cancellation Policy

  • Returns: Due to the custom nature of paper print orders, returns are not accepted unless there was an error with the printing (e.g., incorrect content, damaged copies).
  • Cancellations: Orders may be canceled before payment has been processed. Once the payment is confirmed and printing has begun, cancellations will not be accepted.

8. Environmental Considerations EATFJ is committed to minimizing its environmental impact. Printed copies are produced using sustainable practices whenever possible, such as utilizing recycled paper and eco-friendly ink. We encourage readers and authors to consider digital access as the preferred method of receiving journal content to reduce environmental waste.
