Article Processing Charge (APC)

A flat Article Processing Charge (APC) of $250 applies only upon acceptance of an original research or review article in RESEARCH MICRO [REMI]. There is no fee for submitting a manuscript, which will be evaluated through our single-blind peer-review system.

All articles published in RESEARCH MICRO are open access, permanently available online without restrictions or subscription fees. The APC covers publication costs including IT and administrative support, online hosting, archiving, DOI registration, membership in international ethical publication organizations, journal development, formatting, and dissemination.

There is no APC for invited Editorial commentaries.

Authors who are unable to pay the APC may request a fee waiver or discount on a case-by-case basis. This option is particularly available for authors or author groups based in countries classified by the World Bank as low-income or lower-middle-income economies (see World Bank Country and Lending Groups).
