Expert Journals publishes open access academic journals that make valuable scholarly articles available and accessible for every readership.
Readers and libraries can access and download any published article because we do not have a subscriptions-based model or pay-per-view fees.
Nonetheless, the online publication process does involve costs. To cover these costs and publish valuable research articles in open access system, Expert Journals relies on Article Processing Charges (APC), or publication fees, which are paid only if an article is accepted for publication. This APC is not a submission fee.
This author contribution in the form of APC covers a broad range of services, such as:
Editorial Process Costs
- Maintenance of the editorial process and websites
- Efficient and rigorous peer reviews
- Article processing through plagiarism software
- Proofreading and English language improvement services
- Formatting, editing and publishing of articles in pdf and html versions
Archiving and Visibility Costs
- Archiving and preservation of published papers
- Indexing, abstracting, and listing in major databases
Marketing Costs
- Promotion of published articles
- Friendly customer service support for our authors, editors, and reviewers
Operational Costs
- Money transfer fees
- Accounting and legal fee
- Labor costs
- Taxes
The APC for each one of our journals is 150 Euro (per accepted article). Here is how our publication fee compares to similar online academic journals:
