All articles published in our journals are open access and freely available online, immediately upon publication. This is made possible by an article- processing charge (APC) that covers the range of publishing services we provide. This includes provision of online tools for editors and authors, article production and hosting, liaison with abstracting and indexing services, and customer services. The APC, payable when your manuscript is editorially accepted and before publication, is charged to either you, or your funder, institution or employer.
Rhinology Online levies an article-processing charge of 700 euro for each article accepted for publication. We routinely waive charges for authors from low-income countries. For other countries, article- processing charge waivers or discounts are granted on a case-by- case basis to authors with insufficient funds. Authors can request a waiver or discount during the submission process.
Who is responsible for making or arranging the payment?
As the corresponding author of the manuscript you are responsible for making or arranging the payment (for instance, via your institution) upon editorial acceptance of the manuscript.
At which stage is the amount I will need to pay fixed?
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.
When and how do I pay?
Upon editorial acceptance of an article, the corresponding author (you) will be notified that payment is due. You need to arrange payment unless a waiver has been granted.
We advise prompt payment as we are unable to publish accepted articles until payment has been received.
Payment can be made by any of the following methods:
No taxes are included in this charge. In principle 21% VAT has to be payed.
