SUPPORT FOR AUTHORS
Authors of an article are responsible for arranging the payment of processing fee. Still, that typically does not mean that authors end up paying for the publication of the article. The cost of Processing Fee is very often assumed either by the organization funding the research published in the article, or by an Open Access Publishing Fund, or by the institution at which the author is employed.
Research funded by an agency that has an Open Access mandate will most probably cover Professing Fee by the agency. For a database of Open Access mandates, please visit:
