Our fees are to be intended as a contribution to the costs of the editorial and publication process, from editorial advising to peer review, copy-editing, layout design and production, online management, and dissemination of the published article.
Our ethical commitment to publish only work that meets our scholarly standards — regardless of the author’s ability or willingness to pay the Publication Fee — is reflected in the fact that the decision to publish or not is made before the Author is asked about the Access Option.
There are advantages with the Publication Fee Option, such as immediate and global access to the article upon publication, a larger pool of readership and greater dissemination potential, easier access to download citation statistics, and higher visibility and discoverability of the authors’ scholarship.
The Plan Journal can offer specific solutions for Organizations and Institutions to support their researchers in publishing in Open Access. Authors are encouraged to contact our Subscription Office to know if their Organization or Institution has activated the Institutional Multi-Access option with us, which grants full-time faculty and doctoral students of the Institution the possibility to publish in Open Access, without any Publication Fee, after a successful peer review process.
The Publisher is under no obligation to refund the Author if the article is retracted or removed from our website after publication due to objective reasons — for example, a breach in author warranties.
