All papers published in our journals are instantly and unrestrictedly accessible online. An article-processing fee (APC) that covers the variety of publishing services we provide makes this feasible. This involves offering editors and writers online tools, producing and hosting articles, coordinating with abstracting and indexing services, and providing customer services. The APC is due from you, your sponsor, institution, or employer when your article is editorially approved and before publication.

APCs vary per journal; for details on specific journal costs, see our journal pages.

In order to apply for an APC waiver on these grounds, please contact the journal editorial team at the point of submission. Requests will not be considered until a manuscript has been submitted, and will be awarded at the discretion of the editor.  Contact details for the journal editorial offices may be found on the journal website.
