Article processing charges (APCs)

European Journal of Mineralogy 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 journal paper.
