APC Waiver Policy

The journal aims to encourage and enable authors from all countries to share their scientific knowledge with others and learn from the scientific knowledge of others. To remove financial constraints as a barrier to sharing and learning especially for authors from low income economies, we have formulated a waiver policy.

Requests should be made during the review process only, after acceptance waiver request will not be considered.  

Individual waiver requests from authors will be considered on a case-by-case basis. The amount of discount will depend on factors such as country of origin, position of the author in the institute and quality and originality of the work.

SvedbergOpen provides an automatic waiver of Article Processing Charges to authors based in any of the Low-income economy countries listed below. In order to apply for a waiver, please request one before submitting your manuscript by sending an email to waivers@svedberopen.com.
