Coupon or Promotion Code
Coupon Code:
A coupon code is a special code produced by the publisher to offer a discount in a pre-defined period of time. This code belongs only to invited articles and the author of the invited article is able to use it during submission or after acceptance of his/her article before paying the article processing charge. Please consider the correct date and deadline for using a coupon code because each coupon code has its own deadline and duration of usage.
