Junior researchers and corresponding authors from LMIC may also be eligible for automatic article publication charge waivers and discounts in this journal, if they have no other funding available. Junior researchers are defined as corresponding authors of less than 35 years of age at the time of submission, if there is no other funding (research funding of the junior investigator or his/her research mentor, Wiley Open Access Institutional Agreement). Requests for APC waivers for APC-eligible articles should be directed to the Editor-in-Chief ([email protected]) only prior to or upon submission of the article.

Automatic APC waivers or discounts will be given to Corresponding Authors from institutions in countries and locations on the Waivers and Discounts List. There is no action for authors.

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 submission date and the organization having an active account/partnership arrangement when the article is ready to be published.

The journal does not charge any submission fees or page charges.
