As a prospective author for the Journal of Interactive Media in Education (JIME), I need to understand their current submission status and key requirements. Summarize if JIME is currently accepting general submissions, list the types of articles they accept, detail the number of items on their submission checklist, and explain their Article Processing Charges (APCs) policy.
Navigate to the 'Author Guidelines' section on jime.open.ac.uk. Identify if the journal is currently open for general submissions. Locate and list all accepted manuscript categories under 'Publication Types'. Click on the 'Submission Preparation Checklist' link and count the total number of items. Click on the 'Publication Fees' link and summarize JIME's policy on Article Processing Charges (APCs), including whether they are mandatory, who covers the costs, and the impact of voluntary contributions. Synthesize all identified information into a concise answer.
State whether JIME is currently closed or open to general submissions. List all specific publication types accepted by JIME: 'Empirical Articles', 'Experience Articles', 'Systems Articles', and 'Literature Reviews and Theoretical Analyses'. State the exact total number of items on the 'Submission Preparation Checklist' is 10. Clearly explain JIME's policy on Article Processing Charges (APCs), stating that they are not mandatory for authors, that the Institute of Educational Technology (IET) at the Open University covers the costs, and that voluntary contributions are invited but do not affect publication.
