Fees and pricing

This page contains information about fees that may be incurred when you publish in this journal.

Article processing charges (APCs)

This journal is a wholly open access journal, which means all articles are published as Gold Open Access under a Creative Commons licence. In many cases Gold Open Access articles are supported by an article processing charge (APC), typically paid by the corresponding author’s funding body or institution. However multiple other routes to funding Gold OA, including institutional agreements and APC waivers and discounts, are available to authors. Please see this journal's open access options for full details.

Please see the table below for this journal’s APC fees.
