We ask the corresponding authors of all accepted paper to do their own formatting. But we recognize that some colleagues value their time more than their research budget so we will hire an ISI colleague to format the paper for the author.

To make a payment to ISI for us to hire someone as a formatter, visit http://Pay.InformingScience.org and follow the instructions. For the description, enter some wording like “Formatting fee for PID XXXX”. Note that this service is for formatting only. The formatter is not a copy editor. If a paper needs to be copy-edited (e.g., for grammar or to make the sentences make sense), the author needs to get this revision done outside of ISI before the paper can be accepted.
