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 (peer review, copyediting, typesetting, perpetual archiving, and journal management) from the Article Processing Charges. This is because PAGEPress believes that the interests of the scientific community can best be served by immediate, worldwide, unlimited, open access to the full text of research articles.
Information regarding authors’ payment is 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.

The Article Processing Charge for publication in this Journal is EUR 500,00 (plus 4% VAT, if applicable) per article.

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.
