Articles Processing Charge

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