On 30 October 2023, International Journal of Astrobiology moved to a Gold Open Access publishing model. All accepted articles from this date are published with a Creative Commons licence and are subject to an Article Processing Charge (see the journal’s Open Access Options page for available licence options). Many corresponding authors have their APC covered by a transformative agreement (an agreement between the publisher and the author’s institution); check here to see if your institution is covered. Any author without funding or not covered by a transformative agreement can apply for a waiver.  

Please see the journal's Open Access Options page for instructions on how to request an APC waiver. 

See this FAQ for more information.
