Article Processing Charges

AIP Advances is an open access publication. Authors of published papers will be assessed an Article Processing Charge of USD1350 which covers the cost of publication and allows the author to retain copyright through a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported license. This means all articles published in AIP Advances are freely available to all readers giving authors the broadest distribution of their research possible.

Waivers may be available for certain authors, for example, from low GDP countries or those who, for other reasons, do not have access to funds to cover the fee. Authors can request a waiver on acceptance of their article.

Editors and reviewers have no access to author payment information and will not discuss charges with authors. The ability to pay does not influence whether or not a manuscript is accepted for publication.

Information regarding payment of these charges will be provided following acceptance for publication. Inquiries concerning Article Processing Charges should be addressed to pcr@aip.org.
