Article Processing Charges
As mentioned earlier, Operations & Sustainable Logistics Management Journal is an open-access platform that enables free and unrestricted dissemination of knowledge. All research papers published in this journal are freely accessible to a global audience. Readers can access these scholarly articles online without any restrictions or barriers.
Open Access Policy
Our journal follows a complete open-access publishing model, ensuring instant and unrestricted access to all published materials. To support this level of accessibility and sustain our publication process, we charge Article Processing Charges (APCs).
These fees are typically covered by the authors, their affiliated institutions, or funding organizations. The APCs help us maintain a rigorous peer-review process, uphold publication quality, and ensure the smooth and consistent operation of our journal.
What Do APCs Cover?
Our Article Processing Charges include the cost of the following essential services:
- Double-blind peer review
- Editorial management and coordination
- Typesetting and formatting
- Online hosting, indexing, and archiving
Please note that there is no fee for manuscript submission. The charges apply only after a paper has successfully passed the peer-review process and has been approved for publication by the editorial committee.
Are APCs Essential and Why?
Yes, Article Processing Charges are essential to sustain the operations of the journal. Maintaining an open-access model requires resources to ensure quality, transparency, and accessibility. These contributions enable us to:
- Support the continuous improvement of our editorial and review systems
- Maintain free global access to published research
- Preserve the long-term digital availability of scholarly work
Without these contributions, providing unrestricted access to valuable research for readers worldwide would not be possible.
