Science and Education Publishing is an open access publisher. In an open access
model, the publication costs of an article are paid from an author's research budget,
or by their supporting institution, in the form of Article Processing Charges. These
Article Processing Charges replace subscription charges and allow publishers to
make the full-text of every published article freely available to all interested
readers.
Article Processing Charges are only made if an article is accepted for publication.
The amount of article processing charges (APC) will be established in the yearly
classification of the World Bank Economies of countries (i.e. Low income countries,
Lower-middle-income, Upper-middle-income and High Income countries).
For
Automatic Control and Information Sciences(ISSN 2375-1630), authors are asked to pay
a fee
per processed paper, but only if the article is accepted for publication in this
journal after peer-review and possible revision of the manuscript. Note that many
national and private research funding organizations and universities explicitly
cover such fees for articles originated in funded research projects.
