Editorial office costs expenses

V3 Dec 2023

General guidelines

• ●

  Permitted expenses are those expenses incurred specifically for Elsevier journal editorial work.

Journal editorial office costs can include but are not restricted to:

• ●

  Office supplies - stationery required for Elsevier journal editorial reasons.

• ●

  Postage / courier - courier, postage, or express mail charges for business packages.

• ●

  Copies / printing - where there are no local facilities for printing, this may be reimbursed, if for business reasons.

• ●

  Calls on personal cellular phones - these can only be claimed with an itemized bill and an explanation of the editorial purpose must be attached.

• ●

  Hardware and software – only pre-approved (by Publisher) hardware and software will be reimbursed, provided this is primarily used for Elsevier’s editorial work. No unreasonable upgrade should take place within three years, as a standard vendor guarantee is supposed to cover any defects within that period. Replacement in other exceptional cases is subject to the prior approval of the Publisher.

• ●

  Telephony - for business calls on a business or personal phone line there must be an itemized bill for this to be reimbursable. No monthly standing charges can be claimed e.g., Wi-Fi.

Please consult directly with your Elsevier Publisher if you have any related questions.
