Article Processing Charges
Open Access is the practice of providing unrestricted, immediate, worldwide, barrier-free access via the Internet to the full text of peer-reviewed scholarly journal articles without requiring a subscription to the journal in which these articles are published. OA is also increasingly being provided to theses, scholarly monographs and book chapters.
The Open Access Journal of Science and Technology (OAJoST) is an open access, electronic journal with full contents available to the scientific community free of charge to all readers. Authors maintain the copyright to their own work, a policy facilitating dissemination of data to the widest possible audience without requiring permission from the publisher.
Publishing an article in The Open Access Journal of Science and Technology requires Article Processing Charges that will be billed to the submitting author upon acceptance of the article for publication as follows:
Article Processing Charges (APC):
| Manuscript Type | Article Processing Charges | ||
| USD | EURO | GBP | |
| Regular Articles | 1250 | 1250 | 1200 |
Average Article prorcessing time (APT) is 50 days
Fast Editorial Execution and Review Process (FEE-Review Process) :
The Open Access Journal of Science and Technology is participating in the Fast Editorial Execution and Review Process (FEE-Review Process) with an additional prepayment of $99 apart from the regular article processing fee. Fast Editorial Execution and Review Process is a special service for the article that enables it to get a faster response in the pre-review stage from the handling editor as well as a review from the reviewer. An author can get a faster response of pre-review maximum in 3 days since submission, and a review process by the reviewer maximum in 5 days, followed by revision/publication in 2 days. If the article gets notified for revision by the handling editor, then it will take another 5 days for external review by the previous reviewer or alternative reviewer.
Acceptance of manuscripts is driven entirely by handling editorial team considerations and independent peer-review, ensuring the highest standards are maintained no matter the route to regular peer-reviewed publication or a fast editorial review process. The handling editor and the article contributor are responsible for adhering to scientific standards. The article FEE-Review process of $99 will not be refunded even if the article is rejected or withdrawn for publication.
The corresponding author or institution/organization is responsible for making the manuscript FEE-Review Process payment. The additional FEE-Review Process payment covers the fast review processing and quick editorial decisions, and regular article publication covers the preparation in various formats for online publication, securing full-text inclusion in a number of permanent archives like HTML, XML, and PDF, and feeding to different indexing agencies.
