The journal focuses on instrumentation development, sampling and analytical techniques, indoor and ambient air quality, combustion and bioaerosols, and the health and climate impacts of particulate matter.
What it costs to publish
Reported: Color charges: USD 400
Charges differ by publication route. Subscription is not open access; the APC does not include every possible extra charge.
Amount not established
Amount not established. Research notes (English): An APC is charged if Open Select is chosen after acceptance. The instructions point to the APC finder and do not print the amount. AAAR states USD 2195 and a 10 percent member discount via openaccess@tandf.co.uk with a membership number, without an effective date, so that figure is not adopted. Aerosol Research Letters are described as rapid open access without a separate published APC.

APC, page charges, over-length, S2O: what each one means
- APC
- Article processing charge: a fee per article to publish it open access. It is not the whole cost.
- Page charges
- A fee per printed or typeset page. It can apply with or without an APC.
- Over-length
- Pages beyond a length limit, billed at a different rate. Each page pays one rate, never both.
- S2O
- Subscribe to Open: subscribers keep the journal free to read, decided year by year. Page charges can still apply.
- Agreement
- A deal between an institution or country and a publisher that may cover the APC. Never automatic.
