Article Processing Charges

Science and Education Publishing is an open access publisher. In an open access model, the publication costs of an article are paid from an author's research budget, or by their supporting institution, in the form of Article Processing Charges. These Article Processing Charges replace subscription charges and allow publishers to make the full-text of every published article freely available to all interested readers.

Article Processing Charges are only made if an article is accepted for publication.

The amount of article processing charges (APC) will be established in the yearly classification of the World Bank Economies of countries (i.e. Low income countries, Lower-middle-income, Upper-middle-income and High Income countries).

For Journal of Geosciences and Geomatics(ISSN 2373-6704), authors are asked to pay a fee of $600.00 per processed paper, but only if the article is accepted for publication in this journal after peer-review and possible revision of the manuscript. Note that many national and private research funding organizations and universities explicitly cover such fees for articles originated in funded research projects.

From January 01, 2021 to May 31, 2024, we offer discounts on the publication fee. The exact Article Processing Charges of SciEP journals are shown in the table below.
Category Article Processing Charges
Low-income economies - (39) $160.00 (January 01, 2021 ~ May 31, 2024)
