Charges Policy

Introduction:

Subscription journals keep costs down by charging a subscription to access the information. Because Open Access information is freely available and accessible, the costs are covered by the publication policy. Journals rely on a variety of sources of revenue to cover their publishing costs (which include editorial costs, any costs associated with administering the peer review system, promotion of the contents, circulation, and indexing, among other things), including institutional subsidies and subscriptions. Although a small number of open access journals do not charge article processing fees, the majority, a sizable and growing number, do. They are the most prevalent source of funding for open access publications that have been professionally published.

Funding Sources:

Although the authors are responsible for making or arranging payment of the Publication Charges in most cases they can rely on their institutions and funders for financial support. These bodies can cover Publication Charges in a variety of ways for example, by establishing an OA fund, making it part of their general funding or by paying the fees as part of a membership model.
In order to support sustainable open access publishing, there are many approaches to pay the due charges. These charges are usually had to pay by the author's institution or research funder.
