Article Processing Charges

All articles published in our journals are open access and freely available online, immediately upon publication. This is made possible by an article-processing charge (APC) that covers the range of publishing services we provide. This includes a provision of online tools for editors and authors, article production and hosting, liaison with abstracting and indexing services, and customer services. 

With an article-processing charge (APC) which is considered sufficient, then we do not ask the author to pay an article submission charge (APC).

The APC, payable when your manuscript is editorially accepted and before publication, is charged to either you or your funder, institution or employer.
