Our Publishing Model, Article Processing Charges and Waivers
AJEE publishes in full Open Access under a CC BY-NC 4.0 license which to distribute, remix, adapt, and build upon the material in any medium or format for noncommercial purposes only, and only so 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 onfor the length of an article, figures or supplementary data. Some items (Editorial Notes, Corrections, Retractions, Comments, Book Reviews, Conference Announcements etc.) 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.
Waivers may be granted on a case-by-case basis upon request. Applications submitted before article submission are assessed by the Managing Editor based on the quality of the research article and the authors’ ability to pay.
If the article is cited by other authors more than 10 times in the next two years after its publication in journals listed in the Web of Science Core Collection, the Editorial Board reserves the right to pay compensation to its author in the amount of payment for its publication.
