Welcome to ACT

ACT is fast. Only 6 months from submission to publishing thanks to electronic file exchange between you, the reviewers, the editors and the printers.
ACT is high quality. Peer-reviewed by 3 internationally renowned experts who return review comments to ensure the highest possible quality.
ACT is transparent. The status of your manuscript from submission to printing can be viewed on our website, greatly reducing the frustration of being kept in the dark, possibly for over a year in the case of some journals.
ACT is beautiful. All the contents of manuscripts, including graphics, can be printed in all their glory at a high resolution of 2400 dpi. Goodbye ugly bit-mapped drawings!
ACT is cost-effective. Submission is free of charge and authors receive 50 free off-prints. Full-text PDF files are available for the authors to open at their web sites.
