Article Processing Charge (APC)

OPENPUB Global Publishers is committed to providing researchers with high-quality open-access publishing services. To maintain the sustainability of this open-access model and ensure the continued operation of our journals, we apply an Article Processing Charge (APC) for each article that is accepted for publication.

What Does the APC Cover?

The APC helps cover the costs associated with the editorial and publication process, including:

• Peer Review: The cost of recruiting and compensating expert peer reviewers who evaluate each article for quality and scientific validity.
• Editorial Services: Professional editorial support, including copyediting, formatting, and ensuring that the article meets the journal’s publication standards.
• Open Access Publishing: The maintenance of an open-access platform, ensuring that all articles are freely available to readers worldwide without subscription or paywall barriers.
• Indexing and Promotion: The process of ensuring that published articles are indexed in reputable databases, such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus, and promoting articles to a wide audience to maximize their visibility and impact.
• Long-Term Preservation: The archiving and digital preservation of your article, ensuring it remains accessible to readers far beyond its initial publication date.

Why APCs Are Important

APCs are essential for sustaining the open-access publishing model. They allow us to continue offering authors the benefits of free access to their work while covering the costs of high-quality editorial and peer review services. By charging a reasonable fee, we can continue to provide authors with the best possible publishing experience, without compromising on quality or integrity.

APC Discounts and Waivers

OPENPUB offers discounts and fee waivers on APCs in certain cases, including for authors from developing countries, students, and early-career researchers. If you believe you qualify for a discount or waiver, please contact us directly to inquire about available options.
