The Article Processing Charges for accepted submissions in the Global Journal of Earth Science and Engineering are US$ 330.
The Global Journal of Earth Science and Engineering is an independent title; any university, group, or institution does not sponsor it. All the works are published with Open Access, allowing greater research dissemination through public access, more citations, and the recognition of the authors.
It implies high costs to support the journal's editorial office, where copyediting, proofreading, production, marketing, and publication are carried out. Funds are also needed to cover membership fees in organizations such as Crossref, iThenticate, and hosting services for online access. The only income generated to cover our expenses is through Article Processing Charges (APC) which must be paid by the author or the author's institution.
There are no article submission charges, and the initial evaluation of all articles is done at no cost. APCs are requested after the paper is accepted for publication.
Discounts
Authors whose research is not funded by any organization can apply for a 25% discount. Any further discounts may be given on a case-to-case basis and are subject to the approval of editors and management. Applications for discounts should be submitted initially at the time of manuscript submission.
Waivers
As per the World Bank, APC waivers are offered to authors from low-income countries. Authors can submit applications regarding waivers during the manuscript submission process; the applications will be evaluated based on the quality and importance of the research and the author's financial stability.
Method of Payment
Our accounting department will email an invoice to the corresponding author after the acceptance of the manuscript.
There are two methods of payment:
- Debit/Credit card
- Bank Transfer
Please note that the Article Processing Charges are exclusive of local taxes that may apply depending on the author's country and government policies.
