Open Access Fees and Funding
The Open Access Publishing Fee helps us cover the expenses of publishing and enables our team and authors to access the resources required for producing and distributing top-tier academic content. We strive to keep these fees as low as possible to ensure that any researcher can afford to publish with SCI-INDEX.
How is the fee paid?
The author for correspondence of each book/chapter is responsible for making, or arranging, the payment (for example, via the institution).
An invoice will be issued to the author for correspondence after the editorial acceptance of the book/chapter with instructions for payment.
Why is a fee charged?
A fee is charged to cover the costs of book/chapter production and making it freely available to the public. The typical costs associated with the production of a book/chapter include processing, unrestricted free open access, technology and post publication activities
book/chapter processing:
Receiving book proposals, preliminary check of manuscripts to ensure adherence to guidelines, plagiarism check, communicating between authors/editors, organizing peer review, receiving revised manuscripts, copyediting, implementing corrections by authors, type setting, layout editing, proof reading, graphic design, cover design, reference checking, indexing, file conversion, adding metadata to agreed industry standards, purchasing ISNI and handling, and project management
Unrestricted free open access:
All publications are freely available to the public.
Anyone with an access to internet can access, read, and download the books/chapters without any restrictions.
Technology:
Online presence requires a publishing platform, hosting, necessary security features and email services.
Post publication activities:
Permanent preservation using service providers, applying for indexing in various repositories, book/chapter promotion, marketing and continued online presence.
