As costs are involved in every stage of the publication process, from peer-review, to copy-editing and hosting the final article on dedicated servers, the author is asked to pay a fee of £2,000 / $3,000 / €2,400 (plus VAT where applicable) in order for their article to be published online without access control. By paying the one-off fee, authors will also be permitted to post the final, published PDF of their article on a website, institutional repository or other free public server, immediately on publication.
