Publication Fees

Articles accepted for publication will be asked to pay an Article Publication Charge (APC) to cover publication costs.

**Tax will be added to all fees charged, when applicable (includes VAT/Sales tax or any other applicable taxes).**

Members of the World Society of Sustainable Energy Technologies will receive a 10% discount if they declare their membership details to the editorial team before publication.

Funds for the APC can normally be sourced from your research funder or institution. This fee covers all publication costs (editorial processes; web hosting; indexing; marketing; archiving; DOI registration etc) and ensures that all of the content is fully open access. This approach maximises the potential readership of publications and allows the journal to be run in a sustainable way.

If you do not know about your institution’s policy on open access funding, please contact your departmental/faculty administrators and institution library, as many institutions will make funds available to support open access publications by their staff members.

If published, you will receive an APC request email along with information on how payment can be arranged.

Incomplete or informal waiver requests will not be processed.
