Over-length
Pages beyond a length limit, billed at a different rate. Each page pays one rate, never both.

Waivers and funding: eligibility is not guaranteed.

  1. Source-linked policyResearch notes (English), not independently confirmed: APC waivers are not offered for open access in hybrid titles. Authors without OA funds use the subscription route. Discretionary APC waivers apply only to fully open access journals and require financial need. For fully OA journals, at manuscript submission; requests during review or after acceptance are not considered. That timing does not open an APC waiver for this hybrid journal. Subscription selection after acceptance. Fully OA requests are made inside the submission system. Subscription publication without an APC. Hybrid open-access APC.Publisher policy ↗
