Author Fees

This journal charges the following author fees.

Article Publication Charge (APC): 1485.00 (EUR)

All manuscripts are published by Farmeconomia – Health Economics & Therapeutic Pathways under the Open Access publishing model (CC BY-NC 4.0).

That means that all the articles are freely available on line. This is made possible by an Article Publication Charge (APC) that covers the cost of the services we provide.

The APC, payable when your manuscript is editorially accepted and before publication, is charged either to you, your institution or funder. Following payment of the APC, papers will be published and made open access.

For referees that have reviewed at least one article, a 30% discount on the publication fee for possible article submissions on the journal is applied (APC = €1,040).

Payment can be made by any of the following methods:

  • Credit card. Payment can be made online using a secure payment form as soon as the manuscript has been editorially accepted. We will we send a receipt by email once payment has been processed.
  • Wired Bank Transfer.  You will receive an invoice to be payed within 30 days of the manuscript receiving editorial acceptance.
  • PayPal. Payment can be made as soon as the manuscript has been editorially accepted. We will we send a receipt by email once payment has been processed.

No taxes are included in this charge. If you are resident in any European Union country you have to add Value-Added Tax (VAT) at the rate applicable in the respective country.  Institutions and holders of VAT registration number not based in the Italy can have the VAT charge recorded under the EU reverse charge method, this means VAT does not need to be added to the invoice. You are required to supply us the VAT registration number.

If you would like your article to be published open access, but you genuinely cannot afford this fee, then individual waiver requests are considered on a case-bycase basis and may be granted in cases of genuine need. Priority for this waiver programme will be given to applications by authors from countries eligible for the Research4Life programme (see www.research4life.org/institutions.html).

 

If you do not have funds to pay such fees, you will have an opportunity to waive each fee. We do not want fees to prevent the publication of worthy work.
