Costs

Open Access Publication (Gold Open Access)

Upon acceptance, authors can indicate whether they wish to make their article open access online immediately upon publication, an option which will incur a fee or “article processing charge” (APC).

Authors charged APCs will not be charged any page, color, or supplementary file charges.
