Geological Journal: Fee for Publication

Geological Journal is a renowned international journal that publishes articles in the field of geology. With a focus on original research articles, we ensure the quality of articles published in our journal. However, with the increasing number of articles we receive each year, we have decided to introduce a publication fee to cover the cost of publishing.

Reason for the fee

We understand that researchers worldwide work hard to produce high-quality research. However, the cost of managing a peer-reviewed journal is significant. We have to pay for editorial work, typesetting, graphics, printing, distribution, and archiving. To continue to publish quality articles and maintain the standard of our journal, we have decided to set a fee to cover some of these costs.

Fee structure

The publication fee has been decided based on the cost of managing the journal and the service we provide. The publication fee is different for each article based on the type of article, length, and other factors. The fee varies from $500 to $1500 per article. The exact fee for an article will be communicated to the corresponding author after the manuscript has been accepted for publication.

Waivers and discounts

Geological Journal believes in equal opportunities for researchers worldwide. We understand that some authors may not have the funds to pay the publication fee. We have a waiver policy for such authors, and they can apply for a full or partial waiver of the fee. The waiver is decided based on the author's financial status and the article's importance. We also offer discounts for authors from low-income countries and those who belong to societies affiliated with Geological Journal.

In conclusion, we at Geological Journal are committed to publishing high-quality articles in geology. The introduction of a publication fee is a necessary step for us to continue providing excellent services to our authors and readers. We hope that our authors understand the reason for the fee and will continue to support us. We believe that our waiver policy ensures that researchers worldwide have equal opportunities to publish their work, irrespective of their financial status.
