Author Fees

This journal charges the following author fees.

Article Publication Charge (APC): €1,485

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 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 Wired Bank Transfer, you will receive an invoice to be payed within 30 days of the manuscript receiving editorial acceptance.

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 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 your 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-by case basis and may be granted in cases of genuine need. Priority for this waiver program will be given to applications by authors from countries eligible for the Research4Life programme (see www.research4life.org/institutions.html).

Fast-Track Review: A fast-track review option is available, providing peer-review comments within 10 business days of submission for an additional fast-track fee (€835). Please note that this payment is strictly to facilitate the accelerated review process and does not guarantee acceptance or publication of the article in any way. If you wish to use this option, please select the ‘fast track review’ choice when submitting your article.
