Transparent fees to support high-quality open access publishing.
Contusm Publications charges an Article Processing Fee (APC) for each article accepted for publication. This fee supports the open access model, ensures a rigorous peer-review process, and enables global dissemination of published research.
The Article Processing Charge (APC) ranges from 540 to 1440 USD, depending on the journal and manuscript type. Charges are communicated transparently to authors prior to publication, ensuring a clear and ethical process.
Contusm Publications supports global research communities by offering discounts or full waivers for authors from low-income or lower-middle-income countries, and in cases of demonstrated financial hardship. Waiver applications must be made during submission.
Authors receive an invoice only after acceptance. Payment must be completed before publication. Please send payment confirmations to: billing@contusmpublications.com
Many institutions and funding agencies cover open access fees. Authors should confirm with their institution. Pro-forma invoices or funding statements are available on request.
Refund Policy: APCs are non-refundable once the publishing process begins. Duplicate or erroneous payments must be reported within 7 business days.
Invoice Request: Official invoices can be requested from our billing team via email.
*Taxes may apply depending on the author's country and local regulations.
