A. Flexible APC Framework
Femington is committed to providing transparent, sustainable, and accessible open-access publishing while maintaining high editorial and production standards.
1. Sustainable Publishing Model
- As a non-subscription publisher, Femington relies on APCs to cover the operational costs of peer review, technical production, digital preservation, indexing support, and global hosting.
- All accepted articles are published under a Creative Commons license, allowing immediate and unrestricted access to scholarly content.
2. APC Rates
- Femington maintains a transparent and standardized Article Processing Charge (APC) structure across all journals published by the publisher.
- APCs are payable only after a manuscript has successfully completed peer review and has been formally accepted for publication.
| Author Category | APC (USD) |
|---|---|
| Femington Members | $480 |
| Non-Members | $600 |
- Membership status must be active at the time of manuscript acceptance to qualify for the member APC rate.
- APC rates apply uniformly across all Femington journals unless otherwise specified.
3. No Submission Fees
- Femington does not charge any submission fees.
- APCs are only applicable to manuscripts that have successfully completed peer review and have been formally accepted for publication.
- Authors may submit, revise, and participate in the peer-review process without any upfront publication charges.
