Article processing charges (APCs)
Journal of Sensors and Sensor Systems is committed to the open-access model of publishing. This ensures free web access to the results of research and maximum visibility for published papers. However, it requires the author or a supporting institution to pay the costs of the review process, typesetting, web publication, and long-term archiving. These article processing charges (APCs) are categorized according to the submitted material and levied for the publication of the final journal paper.
The following APCs are valid for any manuscript submitted from 1 July 2018.
| Price per page (AMA members) | Price per page | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Category 1 | €52.20 net | €58 net | LaTeX submissions using the Copernicus Publications LaTeX Package |
| Category 2 | €58.50 net | €65 net | Word submissions using the Copernicus Publications Word Template |
| English language copy-editing is included in the article processing charges. | |||
APCs are levied for any pages included in the produced article's *.pdf file, including appendices, the reference list, acknowledgements, disclaimers, review statements, code and data availability statements, and other such information sections. The supplement, however, is free of charge since it is not part of the main article's *.pdf file.
