OA Processing Charges

Book Processing Charges (BPCs) and Chapter Processing Charges (CPCs): Payment of the BPC or CPC fee (directly to the publisher) by the author or a funding body is not required until AFTER the manuscript has gone through the full double-anonymized peer review process and the Editor(s)-in-Chief at his/her/their full discretion has/have decided to accept the manuscript based on the results of the double-anonymized peer review process.

What Does IGI Global's Open Access BPC and CPC Cover? In the traditional subscription-based model, the cost to the publisher to produce each manuscript is covered by the revenue generated by book sales. Under OA, all the manuscripts are published under a Creative Commons (CC BY) license; therefore, the authors or funding body will pay a one-time BPC or CPC to offset the costs of all of the activities associated with the publication of the article manuscript, including:

  • Digital tools used to support the manuscript management and review process
  • Typesetting, formatting and layout
  • Online hosting
  • Submission of the journal's content to numerous abstracts, directories, and indexes
  • Third-party software (e.g. plagiarism checks)
  • Editorial support which includes manuscript tracking, communications, submission guideline checks, and communications with authors and reviewers
  • All promotional support and activities which include metadata distribution, press releases, promotional communications, web content, ads, fliers, brochures, postcards, etc. for the journal and its published contents
  • The fact that all published articles will be freely accessible and able to be posted and disseminated widely by the authors
