Article Processing Charges

Frontiers in Research maintains different APC policies for researchers. All articles in these journals are published under the Gold Open Access model. APCs, where applicable, cover the costs of peer review, copyediting, typesetting, long-term archiving, and journal management. This ensures free access for readers.

To ensure the provision of a high-quality publishing service and free access for readers, authors of manuscripts accepted by Frontiers in Research are required to pay a one-time Article Processing Charge (APC) of 100 USD. This charge is only applicable to accepted manuscripts; there is no fee for submissions or for manuscripts that are rejected. Frontiers in Research offers a 40% discount on Article Processing Charges (APCs) for corresponding authors from the countries listed below. With this discount applied, the final APC is set at 60 USD.

^{* Prices exclude VAT, GST, or other sales taxes. Applicable taxes may be added where required by law, calculated at the point of sale and itemized separately. Please provide your tax identification number when requested.}

Authors are not required to pay any fees upon submission of their manuscripts. The APC is only payable if the manuscript is accepted for publication following a peer-review process. Once a manuscript is editorially accepted, payment information on payment method will be provided to the corresponding author.

Additionally, there are no extra charges based on the length or type of the article or the inclusion of figures or supplementary data. Editorial items such as Editorials, Corrections, Additions, Retractions, Letters, and Comments are published free of charge.
