Paper Prints Policy

1. Overview
Bioscience Insights offers authors, libraries, and other interested parties the option to request physical copies of published articles. This Paper Prints Policy outlines the procedures, costs, and availability for ordering paper prints of the articles published in the journal.

2. Availability of Paper Prints
Printed copies of articles are available upon request. These prints are intended for authors, institutions, libraries, or individuals who require physical copies of research for personal use, educational purposes, or distribution.

3. Requesting Paper Prints
To request paper prints, the following steps should be followed:

• Order Form: Authors or interested parties must fill out the paper print order form available on the journal’s website or upon request from the editorial office.
• Provide Article Details: The order form should include necessary details such as the article title, author names, volume, issue number, and publication date.
• Specify Number of Copies: Authors or requesters should specify the number of copies they wish to receive.

4. Costs and Payment
Paper prints are subject to a fee that covers printing, handling, and shipping costs. The price for printed copies is determined based on the number of pages, the number of copies requested, and the shipping destination.

• Authors: Authors will be entitled to a limited number of free copies (usually one or two). Additional copies can be ordered at a set price.
• Institutions and Libraries: Institutions may request bulk orders for multiple copies at discounted rates depending on the quantity.
• Individual Requests: Individuals can purchase single or multiple copies at the standard print cost.

5. Shipping and Delivery
Once the order is processed, paper prints will be dispatched within 7-10 business days. Delivery times will depend on the shipping address and postal services:

• Domestic Orders: Orders within the country will generally be processed more quickly.
• International Orders: For international orders, shipping times may vary, and additional shipping fees may apply. International customers may be required to provide additional information for customs clearance.

6. No Return Policy
Paper prints are produced on-demand and are non-returnable once they are shipped. However, if there is an issue with the print quality, such as printing errors or damaged copies, replacements may be issued free of charge.

7. Environmental Considerations
Bioscience Insights encourages the use of digital copies when possible to minimize the environmental impact. While printed copies are available, the journal advocates for electronic access to articles to support sustainable and efficient research practices.

8. Bulk Orders and Discounts
Institutions, libraries, or organizations requiring large quantities of printed copies may contact the editorial office for information on bulk orders and discounts. The journal offers customized pricing based on the volume of the request.
