Article Processing Charges
Sustaining Open Access Publishing Through Transparent Author Contributions
What is an APC?
The Article Processing Charge (APC) is a fee payable by authors after a manuscript is accepted for publication in Annals of Advances in Chemistry (AAC). This fee supports editorial review, peer-review management, copyediting, typesetting, indexing, DOI assignment, and long-term archiving of articles.
Why APC is Necessary
AAC is a Gold Open Access journal. All published articles are freely accessible to readers without subscription or paywalls. To sustain this model and ensure high-quality publishing standards, APCs are collected to cover operational costs.
