be billed to the submitting author upon acceptance of the article for
publication in accordance with the following table. (YES)
The production of articles accepted for publication, however, is
performed by the Publication Production Office. Therefore, the

Acknowledgement will be sent within a few business days upon receiving of
a paper.
The papers submitted to our journals are refereed within 2-3 months and
upon acceptance the papers are published within 3 months.
Article Processing Charges

In an open access model, the publication costs of an article are paid from an
author's research budget, or by their supporting institution, in the form of
Article Processing Charges. These Article Processing Charges replace
subscription charges and allow publishers to make the full-text of every
published article freely available to all interested readers. In addition, authors
who publish in our open access journals retain the copyright of their work,
which is released under a “Creative Commons Attribution License,” enabling
the unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction of an article in any
medium, provided that the original work is properly cited.

editing process until payment has been received.
Service Charges
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics is committed to the Open Access model
of publishing. This ensures free web access to the results of research and
7. Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
maximum visibility for published papers. However it requires the author or a
supporting institution to pay the costs of the review process, typesetting, web
publication and long term archiving. These service charges are categorized
according to the submitted material and levied for the publication in the
discussion forum, while the publication in the journal is then free of charge.
The discussion paper style leads to three times more pages than the classic
manuscript style.
Rule of thumb: discussion pages = characters / 1,900 + # tables + # figures
2011 Service Charges for Authors (Subsidized Prices)
The following service charges are valid for any manuscripts submitted from 1
January 2011 where the first author does not belong to an institution with a
clear Open Access mandate and budget. To bridge the time gap where Open
Access publication charges are not fully established in scientific communities
and funding schemes, the European Geosciences Union supports authors
with subsidized prices.

Service Charges
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics is committed to the Open Access model
of publishing. This ensures free web access to the results of research and
maximum visibility for published papers. However it requires the author or a
supporting institution to pay the costs of the review process, typesetting, web
publication and long term archiving. These service charges are categorized
according to the submitted material and levied for the publication in the
discussion forum, while the publication in the journal is then free of charge.
The discussion paper style leads to three times more pages than the classic
8. Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics Discussions manuscript style.
Rule of thumb: discussion pages = characters / 1,900 + # tables + # figures
2011 Service Charges for Authors (Subsidized Prices)
January 2011 where the first author does not belong to an institution with a
clear Open Access mandate and budget. To bridge the time gap where Open
Access publication charges are not fully established in scientific communities
and funding schemes, the European Geosciences Union supports authors
with subsidized prices.

Why does MDPI have article processing charges (APC) for publishing in its
journals?
MDPI publishes all its journals in full open access format. The scientific
community and the general public can unlimitedly and immediately access
all content published in our journals for free as soon as it is published on the
Internet. This means that MDPI does not have any income from selling
subscriptions to print or online versions of its journals or from charging "pay-
per-view" fees. Therefore, MDPI needs to defray its editorial and production
costs by collecting article processing charges (APC) from authors' institutes or
research funding bodies. MDPI is committed to keep its open access
9. Entropy publication charges at a minimum level. Already now, MDPI's charges—if
calculated per page—are much lower than the revenues per published page
that traditional, subscription-based academic publishers can generate.
How much does MDPI charge for its different journals?
The amount of article processing charges (APC) for different journals is given
in the table below. The basic article processing charges (APC) cover editorial
service and production of an article. A separate English editing charge will be
applied to articles that require extensive English language editing or
formatting. Non-native English speaking colleagues are encouraged to use a
professional English editing service before submission of a manuscript.
Usually the publication in the first volume of newly launched journal is free
of charge
Fees and Charges: A handling fee of $450 will be billed to the authors for each
manuscript published. Publication of an article in the International Journal of
Physical Sciences is not contingent upon the author's ability to pay the
10. International Journal of Physical Sciences charges. Neither is acceptance to pay the handling fee a guarantee that the
paper will be accepted for publication. Authors may still request (in advance)
that the editorial office waive some of the handling fee under special
circumstances.
