Article Processing Charges

As an open access title, publishing an article in this journal requires an article processing charge (APC) that will be billed to the submitting author following acceptance. Apart from this article processing charge there are no other fees (for example submission charges, page charges, or color charges).  

The article processing charge for the journal is $2100. 

Once an article has been accepted for publication, an article processing charge is due. The submitting author assumes responsibility for the article processing charge, and Hindawi will not issue refunds of any kind. 

Hindawi operates a transparent waiver policy to help support researchers who are unable to meet some or all of the costs associated with publishing open access. 

For journals published as part of the IET Hindawi publishing partnership, Hindawi provides a 100% waiver for article processing charges on manuscripts where the corresponding author's listed affiliation is in Egypt. Eligible authors must contact [email protected] to request this waiver upon the acceptance of their manuscript.

IET members receive a 15% discount on article processing charges when they are the corresponding author of a manuscript. Eligible authors must contact [email protected] to request this waiver upon the acceptance of their manuscript.
