Article Publication Charges (APCs)

If the Open Access option is selected, submissions will be subject to an APC if accepted and published in the journal: $3,400 USD / £2,270 GBP / €2,850 EUR

If the Corresponding Author’s institution, funder, or society has a Wiley Open Access Account (WOAA), all or part of the APC might be covered. Eligibility is based on the article’s acceptance date and the organization having an active account/partnership arrangement when the order is placed.

Taxes on Publication Charges

The prices quoted do not include any value-added tax (VAT), goods and services tax (GST), or other sales taxes. Tax may be charged in addition to the price shown where required by law. The amount of tax charged will be calculated at the point of sale and identified separately.

If you have a VAT, GST, or other sales tax identification number, you should provide this when requested.

If you or the party responsible for payment are tax exempt, instructions will be provided during the payment process regarding where and when to send the tax exemption certificate or other relevant documentation.

Taxes on Publication Charges 

Authors and Institutions resident in any of the EU countries that participate in VAT that are not registered for VAT will have Value-Added Tax (VAT, at their local relevant rate) to add. 

If the Author/Institution is VAT registered, by providing their VAT registration number a tax invoice can be accommodated under the reverse charge. (This is a mechanism where VAT would not need to be added to the payment). The VAT registered customer will account for the VAT when they prepare their VAT return as both an “in” and an “out”, producing a nil effect.
