Why is there an article processing charge (APC)?

Modified on Fri, 1 Aug at 11:38 AM

While open-access publishing ensures that readers can access research articles for free, there are essential costs involved in the publication process. These include managing rigorous peer-review systems, professional copyediting and typesetting, digital archiving and long-term hosting, as well as ensuring visibility through indexing and promotion. The Article Processing Charge (APC) helps cover these expenses, enabling us to maintain high publishing standards while making your work freely available to a global audience.
