The Bundesamt für die Sicherheit der nuklearen Entsorgung (BASE) supports the start-up phase by fully waiving the article processing charges (APCs).
Article processing charges (APCs)
Safety of Nuclear Waste Disposal is committed to the open-access model of publishing. This ensures free web access to the results of research and maximum visibility for published papers. However, it requires the author or a supporting institution to pay the costs of the administration and infrastructure of the review process, production of final papers, journal article publication, distribution, and long-term archiving. These article processing charges (APCs) are categorized according to the submitted material and levied for the publication of the final revised paper in the journal (preprints are free of charge).
