About Open Access Publication
IJS Oncology is an open access, peer-reviewed journal. To provide open access, the journal charges an article processing charge (APC) for each article published. These fees cover the expenses incurred by publication, including the peer review process, journal production and publication, and hosting and archiving fees. Fees vary by article type.
Article Processing Charge (APC)
Article processing fees are charged after peer review and acceptance but prior to publication. All decisions to accept manuscripts are based solely on editorial criteria. Publication fees must be received by the publisher before an article is published. All fees and financial transactions related to article publication are conducted by the publisher, Wolters Kluwer.
The APCs for IJS Oncology are $1000 USD for Tier 1 manuscripts (Original Research Articles, Review Articles, and Experimental Research) and $400 USD for Tier 2 manuscripts (Letters and Editorials). Authors may pay by credit card or request that an invoice be sent to them, their funders, or their institutions. Please direct any questions regarding article publication fees to: Elizabeth Durzy, Senior Publisher, Elizabeth.Durzy@wolterskluwer.com.
