that our system is not perfect and we are still upgrading it. (For authors from some countries like Pakistan, Iran,
etc, the credit card option is not available and wire transfer has to be used) However, authors located in some
regions, like Nigeria, can register their card with Paypal and use the Paypal to pay the charge with the online
options mentioned on the 1st page of this document.
