Our Publishing Model, Article Processing Charges and Waivers
Publication model
AJEE is an Open Access Journal that quarterly publishes original research articles and other materials, necessary for researching, which can be read without the requirement for registration of any kind. The registration is necessary only for submitting a manuscript and for reviewing it. We strongly support the Budapest Open Access Initiative, 2002 and follow it in our activities. We also support the Bethesda Statement on Open Access Publishing, released June 20, 2003 and the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities of 22 October 2003, in particular, the transition to the Electronic Open Access Paradigm.
Publication fees
AJEE publishes in full Open Access under a CC BY 4.0 license which permits to copy and distribute the material in any medium or format in unadapted form only, for noncommercial purposes only, and only so as long as attribution is given to the creator.
Authors pay a one-time Article Processing Charge (APC) to cover the costs of peer review administration and management, professional production of articles in PDF and other formats, and dissemination of published papers in various venues, in addition to other publishing functions.
There are no charges for rejected articles, no submission charges, and no surcharges based on for the length of an article, figures or supplementary data. Some items (Editorial Notes, Corrections, Retractions, Book Reviews) are published free of charge.
AJEE waives 20% of its content every issue. We are committed to supporting the transition of all research to full open access, so offer APC waivers or discounts to some authors. We display an APC in order to demonstrate to authors that there is a cost to publication.
