Article Processing Charge (APC) & Waiver Policy
Oblìk ì fìnansi, as an open-access journal, does not charge readers any fees to access and use published articles. To cover the cost of providing our high-quality publishing service and free access to readers, authors pay a one-time article processing charge (APC) for manuscripts accepted after peer-review. There are no charges for rejected articles, no submission charges, and no surcharges.
APCs cover the following:
- The editorial procedure, including administration related to peer review, author revisions, and final decision-making.
- Article production: professional language editing, type-setting, formatting, and production in PDF, XML, and HTML formats.
- Provision of a unique DOI (Digital Object Identifier) for each article.
- Article hosting and dissemination: maintaining the journal's website and submitting articles' metadata to international and national scholarly databases.
- Editorial management.
For authors from Ukraine, the APC is 1400 UAH per article.
For authors from other countries, the APC is 50 USD per article. This amount includes payment for the services of professional translators (language editing fees), whom the journal additionally engages to proofread manuscripts from foreign authors.
There are no surcharges based on the length of a manuscript, figures, or supplementary data.
Authors will be requested for APC only if the review process is complete and the article is accepted for publication. Thus, the authors' fees or waiver status does not affect the editorial decision-making. The APC payable for an article is agreed as part of the manuscript submission process. The agreed charge will not change, regardless of any change to the journal's APC.
Authors from Ukraine can pay at the cash desk of any Ukrainian bank or via mobile banking. Instead, for authors from other countries, the following payment methods are available:
(2) SWIFT Transfer
(3) PayPal
Waiver Policy
Some researchers may have limited funding for their research activities. Therefore, to encourage authors from low- and middle-income economies to share their scientific achievements, the publisher has introduced a flexible waiver system that will make it easier for researchers who decide to publish their manuscripts in the Oblìk ì fìnansi journal to pay the APC.
To request a waiver, kindly send an application to the journal's email address, indicating your name, affiliation, article title, summary of the research results, and the reason for requesting a waiver. Journal's publisher will consider all submitted requests individually. The waiver amount (from 10% to 50%) will depend on factors such as the author's country of origin, position, and the quality and originality of the research results.
Articles submitted by Ukrainian applicants for the third level of higher education of a budgetary form of training, completed by them alone (without co-authors), are exempt from any payment (contributions) for processing, reviewing and publication.
