Article Processing Charges (APC)

General Overview

Interdisciplinary Life Sciences is an open access journal, committed to the unrestricted dissemination of knowledge. We believe that making research freely available accelerates discovery and fosters global collaboration.

All articles published in the journal are distributed under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license, allowing readers to share and adapt the work, provided appropriate credit is given to the authors.

To support this sustainable open access model, Interdisciplinary Life Sciences funds the costs associated with publishing through an Article Processing Charge (APC). This fee ensures that the final published articles are freely available to everyone, without the need for a subscription.

Publication Fee Structure

The APC covers the full cost of the editorial and production process. The fee varies based on the corresponding author's location.

What Does the APC Cover?

The APC is utilized to maintain the high quality and integrity of the publication process. Specifically, it supports:

• Administration & Management: Handling of manuscripts from submission to publication, including coordination with editors and reviewers.
• Professional Production: Expert typesetting, formatting, and creation of articles in PDF and other digital formats.
• Dissemination: Active promotion and distribution of published articles across multiple venues, databases, and search engines to maximize visibility.
• Infrastructure: Maintenance of the online submission and peer-review platforms.
• Quality Assurance: Utilization of anti-plagiarism detection software (e.g., iThenticate) to safeguard the integrity of the academic record.
• Operational Support: Dedicated staff who provide technical and administrative assistance to Academic Editors, reviewers, and authors.
