Article Processing Charges

While the traditional publication model relies on restricting access to published research in order to recoup the costs of the publication process by selling subscriptions, the open access publishing model treats publication as the last phase of the research process. Instead of charging users a fee to read the content, an article-processing fee is required. This flat charge helps cover the costs of the publication process. This includes peer-reviewing, editing, publishing, archiving and maintaining articles, and allows immediate access to the full text versions of the research articles. Open access greatly increases the number of citations, which is a valued measure of the prestige of a published work.
