How does an author pay for a paper to be formatted?
To make a payment to ISI 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.
