What membership is for
Open-access journals publish articles free to read under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, with costs met through article processing charges rather than subscriptions. Membership gives individual researchers and institutions a way to support this model through an agreement with the publisher.
Membership is separate from the editorial work of the journal. Every manuscript follows the same editorial process, and the review and acceptance of a manuscript rest on its scientific merit alone.
How membership relates to publishing
Peer review
Single-blind by default; double-blind review is available on request. The same review applies to every manuscript, whatever the author's membership.
Editorial decisions
Editorial decisions are based on scope, scientific quality, methodological rigor, ethical compliance, reporting quality, and relevance to the journal. They remain independent of fees, services, memberships and roles.
Article processing charge
The APC for JPAN is USD 1,440 for every article type and is payable only after acceptance; withdrawal after submission is subject to the journal's withdrawal policy. Full details are on the Article Processing Charges page.
Fee relief
Fee-relief inquiries are considered case by case; contact the editorial office before or at submission.
Membership terms
Membership plans for individuals, institutions and organizations are arranged with the editorial office, which provides the current terms and fees on request.
To ask about membership, email info@openaccesspub.org with your full name, institutional or organizational affiliation, complete mailing address and the journals of interest.
