How do the “AZo” publishing model & the revenue sharing arrangements operate?
• The published paper benefits from “indirect” general advertising as a consequence of publication on www.azonano.com e.g. site sponsorships, conference & exhibition promotions and features. • The published paper is also anticipated to attract “direct” advertising e.g. a paper or article on microscopy techniques would be of interest to microscope manufacturers who may wish to list their services alongside the related paper or article. • The revenue received from this journal related direct and indirect advertising is then distributed according to the following general criteria: • The popularity of the paper in relation to the other publications in the journal. The more popular the paper the more pro-rata revenue share it receives. • Authors receive a revenue share of 50% of the direct revenue and the relevant indirect revenue. • Peer reviewers receive a revenue share of 20% of the direct revenue and relevant indirect revenue. • The site administrators receive 30% of the direct revenue
