Article processing charge (APC)

€200 APC, only if accepted – waived for the first 20 accepted LCSAI articles.€200 is the full amount you pay: nothing is added at checkout.Nothing to pay to submit. The waiver is counted at acceptance: after the 20th accepted LCSAI article, the standard €200 applies.

When do I pay?

Only after your manuscript is accepted, and before it moves into production. You'll never be asked to pay to submit, and there's no charge if your manuscript is rejected, or withdrawn before you pay the invoice.

Can my institution or funder pay instead of me?

Yes – the APC can be paid by the author, their institution, or their funding body. Let the editorial team know before your manuscript is accepted if a purchase order or invoice to a third party is needed.
