Article processing charges (APCs)
Article processing charge
Optica Applicata is an open access journal freely available to all readers. To publish in Optica Applicata, authors are asked to pay an article processing charge (APC). The APC only applies if the article is accepted for publication after peer-review and possible revision of the manuscript. There are no charges for rejected articles, no submission charges, and no surcharges based on the length of an article or color figures.
The APCs for all published articles are as follows:
| Poland | PLN 738 (23% VAT included) |
| Europe | € 180 |
| Rest of the world | $ 200 |
We may accept partial payments or offer waivers to authors not capable to cover APCs.
Accepted articles will not be published until payment has been received. Refunds are not possible once article has been published.
