Article Processing Charge

Open access publishing does have its costs. Since PAGEPress does not have subscription charges for its research content it can defray publishing costs from the Article Processing Charges. This is because PAGEPress believes that the interests of the scientific community can best be served by an immediate, worldwide, unlimited, open access to the full text of research articles. Information regarding authors’ payment are not made available to editors and reviewers ensuring that they cannot be influenced in their selection of papers for publication by payment conditions or limitations.

The Article Processing Charge for publication in this journal is € 750.00 (plus 4% VAT, if applicable). Only FADOI members in good standing with their annual membership fee and who are also Corresponding Authors may publish their articles free of charge.

Please note that our fees do not include taxes (VAT):

• Private or public ITALIAN customers (individuals, universities, hospitals, other organizations) must ALWAYS add VAT (IVA) at the current rate (4%);
• European Union private customers must add VAT at standard rate (4%);
• European Union private/public organizations (universities, hospitals, others with regular VAT number) should not add any taxes at standard rate, provided that they indicate their VAT number;
• Outside the European Union, individuals and organizations should not add any tax.

IMPORTANT: Authors are NOT required to pay at the moment of submission. If the paper will be accepted, the Managing Editor will guide the Authors through the payment procedure. No article will be published before waiver or payment.
