Article Processing Charge

Open access publishing does have its costs. Since PAGEPress does not have subscription charges for its research content it can defray publishing costs from the Article Processing Charge (APC). This is because PAGEPress believes that the interests of the scientific community can best be served by an immediate, worldwide, unlimited, open access to the full text of research articles. Information regarding authors' payment are not made available to editors and reviewers ensuring that they cannot be influenced in their selection of papers for publication by payment conditions or limitations.

Please note that VAT tax has to be added to the APC:

• European Union PRIVATE customers must add the standard rate (4%) of VAT tax.
• European Institutions and Organizations paying the fee on behalf of Authors can avoid payment of VAT by providing their VAT registration number.
• Private or public ITALIAN customers (individuals, universities, hospitals, other organizations) must ALWAYS add VAT (IVA) at standard rate (4%)
• Outside the European Union, individuals and organizations should not add the VAT tax.

The APC is €100.00 (one-hundred Euros) for each article accepted for publication, plus VAT or local taxes where applicable.
Our fees cover the costs of peer review, copyediting, publication, different format of publication (HTML, XML, PDF), inclusion in many Open Access databases.
