Pricing & Discounts

ASSAAR publishes all its journals in full open access under a Creative Commons (CC BY) license. This allows the scientific community and the general public to gain unlimited, free and immediate access to scholarly articles. To cover the cost of publication, authors pay an article processing charge (APC) for manuscripts accepted after peer-review. There are no charges for rejected articles, no submission charges, and no surcharges based on the length of an article, figures or supplementary data. Editorial items (Editorials, Corrections, Additions, Retractions, Letters, Comments, etc.) are published free of charge.

The APC by journal is given in the table below. Publication in the first few issues of a new journal is usually 50% off in fee.

Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use ASSAAR’s English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions. If you use an alternative service that provides a confirmation certificate, please send a copy to the Editorial Office. Authors from developing countries should consider registration with half price to collaborate and get services of networking, mentoring, resources and training for researchers in developing countries.

Many funding agencies and institutions explicitly allow the use of research grants for the payment of APCs for publishing in open access journals.

ASSAAR provides discounts for authors under an Institutional Open Access Program (IOAP) and will collaborate with academic institutions and industry R and D. If your institution does not yet participate, you may recommend the program to your librarian or representative. Email or Call us for support.

Selected articles invited by the Editorial Office are published for free. Waivers may be granted at the Publisher’s discretion and should be discussed with the editorial office when submitting the article. The editorial decision making is decoupled from the authors’ ability to pay the Article Processing Charges, however authors should consider in advance whether they have sufficient funds to cover the full APC.

ASSAAR also offers discount vouchers to selected reviewers.

We accept payments in US Dollars (USD) and Pound Sterling (GBP). Upon acceptance, the corresponding/submitting author will receive an e-mail with a link where the currency of the invoice can be changed.

Invoices are emailed shortly after acceptance to the payment contact provided by the authors. Only official invoices issued by ASSAAR (services@assaar.co.uk) are valid. We do not authorize any third party to collect the APCs. ASSAAR is the sole service provider and cannot be held liable for actions by third parties.
