Article Processing Charges (APC)

The publication fee covers peer review management, journal production, distribution, a print copy, and online hosting and archiving.

Institutional Access Funds
Many institutions already support their researchers by setting aside financial resources to cover or reduce the cost of their Open Access publications. We provide discounts to authors whose universities or organizations are partners with Boston Research Journals. Authors can encourage their universities and institutions to become our partners for flat fees.
Funder Fee Support
More and more funders are encouraging researchers to publish in Open Access journals where their work can be read and shared by all. Contact your funder directly to find out if they allow fees to be included as line items on a grant or provide specific article processing grants. If it is required to submit any document or compliance from our end, let us know.
