Publication Charges

Page & Open Access Charges

To support the cost of wide dissemination of research results through publication of journal pages and production of a database of articles, the author's institution is requested to pay a page charge of $60 per page (with a one-page minimum) and an article charge of $20 per article. For Errata the minimum page charge is $60, with no article charge.

For any regular, published article that exceeds ten (10) journal pages, a mandatory $150 page charge will be added for each page in excess of ten (10) pages.

Through participation in Author Select^® and payment of an $2200 fee in support of both publication and archiving costs, authors can provide free online access to a published article, in perpetuity, to any online user. More details on this option may be found in the Open Access Publication section of this website. Authors may indicate their intention to participate in Author Select when submitting new or revised manuscripts at the journal’s submission website. Payment of the $2200 Author Select fee must be paid prior to publication of your article.

Color Printing

Illustrations will appear in color in the online journal free of charge to authors. To take advantage of this free service, authors must (i) supply usable color graphics files (.eps, .ps, .tif, or .pdf only), (ii) transmit graphics files in time for utilization during the production process, (iii) submit only one version of each graphics file, (iv) ensure that colors chosen will reproduce well when printed in black & white, and (v) ensure that descriptions of figures in text will be sufficiently clear for both print and online versions.

Authors or their institutions must bear the cost of any color they wish to use in the printed journal. As of 1 January 2009, a fixed rate of $325 for each color figure applies for color in print. For multipart figures, a single charge will apply only if all parts are submitted as a single piece of artwork.

For color in the printed journal, authors are required to sign an acknowledgment of color charges prior to publication of an article with color figures. When ordering reprints with color, authors will be charged an additional $40 per color page per 100 reprints.

Direct inquiries concerning free online color and color printing charges to AIP Production Services.
