OPEN GEOSCIENCES

EFFECTIVE JANUARY 2020

ARTICLE PROCESSING CHARGES

In order to sustain the production of our fully-refereed open access journal, each article accepted for
publication in Open Geosciences is subject to an Article Processing Charge of €1000. This fee is used to
cover the costs of the peer-review process, professional typesetting and copyediting, as well as online
hosting, long-term preservation, content aggregators worldwide, and extensive promotion to potential
readers.

Editors and reviewers are not involved in author payment process and do not discuss charges with authors.
The ability to pay does not influence whether or not a manuscript is accepted for publication.

Information regarding payment of these charges will be provided following acceptance for publication.
There are no submission charges – Article Processing Charges apply after the acceptance of a
manuscript. Inquiries concerning Article Processing Charges should be addressed before or immediately
after submission of a paper to the Editorial Office.

WAIVER POLICIES
If the submitting author is affiliated with an organization which is listed as an Institutional Member, this
membership offers a discount on the Article Processing Charge and the author has a reduced expense.
Moreover, the authors who work for institutions in developing countries (countries classified by the
World Bank as low-income and lower-middle-income economies) may apply for a waiver. Other authors
who do not fulfill these criteria can also request a waiver or a discount during the submission process.

FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES
Authors who are looking for funds to support the payment of Article Processing Charges have a number
of options to consider. For details visit our website.
