Article Processing Charges
Article Processing Charge (APC):

Payment of the APC 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 Scientific Publishing's Open Access APC Cover?

In the traditional subscription-based model, the cost to the publisher to produce each article is covered by the revenue generated by journal subscriptions. Under OA, all the articles are published under a Creative Commons (CC BY) license; therefore, the authors or funding body will pay a one-time article processing charge (APC) 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
  • Professional line-by-line English language copy editing and proofreading*

*This service is only performed on article manuscripts with fully paid (not discounted or waived) APC fees.

APC Subsidizing and Funding

To assist researchers in covering the costs of the APC in OA publishing, there are various sources of OA funding. Additionally, unlike many other publishers, IGI Global Scientific Publishing offers flexible subsidies, 100% Open Access APC funding, discounts, and more. Learn More

Open Access Funding Resources

IGI Global Scientific Publishing recognizes that many researchers may not know where to begin when searching for OA funding opportunities. IGI Global Scientific Publishing launched an Open Access Funding Resources page for researchers to browse. This page provides a comprehensive list of OA funding sources available for researchers to secure funds for their various OA publications.

Recognizing the importance of securing funding for article processing charges (APCs) during the publication process, IGI Global Scientific Publishing has offered guidance on the optimal timing for obtaining funding.

IGI Global Scientific Publishing also provides valuable insights on how researchers can secure funding for APCs through research grants, crowdfunding, and institutional agreements, helping researchers make their work more accessible. Read more here.

Reviews & Statements

Fuzzy sets have played a pivotal role in numerous science, engineering and business applications. The International Journal of Fuzzy System Applications (IJFSA) is a catalyst in bridging the gap between theory and practice of fuzzy sets and systems. The primary goal of IJFSA is to elaborate its subject matter in such a robust manner that it has multidisciplinary appeal. The papers published in IJFSA cover all aspects of fuzzy sets in a clear and highly comprehensive manner and give the readers an inclusive access to the what, why and how of fuzzy thinking and applications. I have found this journal intriguing to say the least.
