Answer:

Not all debit/credit cards are capable of making transactions in Bitcoins. There are some special Bitcoin debit cards that allow you to add funding in Bitcoin to your card’s prepaid balance and make payments in Bitcoins. However, you will be charged a fee for every transaction that you make in Bitcoins. 

I searched online and came with a few sites that will give you information about the commonly used Bitcoin debit cards:

Having said that, I think you should first write to the journal explaining that none of your cards support Bitcoin transaction and ask whether you can make a payment in regular currency. If they agree, your problem is solved. If they don't, you might have to buy a Bitcoin debit card for this purpose. Bitcoin debit cards can be both virtual and physical, and often, the virtual ones are available instantly, so you can buy them and make your payment without any delay.
