As all articles in all PIER Journals are available online and free of charge to all readers, PIER authors are required to pay the Article Process Charge (APC).
* Starting from November 2023, all PIER journals will be in double-column layout. For all papers submitted after December 1, 2023, the APC for all PIER journals (except main journal PIER) will be 200 USD. The following table gives a quick overview of all PIER journals related to page lengths. The total APC is the sum of the Paper Charge and the Overlength Page Charge.
