Vouchers

A reward for reviewing papers in Media Konservasi. Each reviewer receives an email containing a voucher code.
50% + 50% = 100% free APC Combine any two vouchers on one paper
- One paper per voucher. Each voucher can be claimed once, for a single submission.
- Claim date = submission date. The date you submit the paper counts as the date the voucher is claimed.
- Mind the expiry date. Vouchers claimed after their expiration date are invalid.
- Transferable. Anyone may use a voucher, not only the person who received it.
