Authors fees  in Consortium PSYCHIATRICUM

OVERVIEW

Consortium PSYCHIATRICUM applies an article processing charge (APC) upon acceptance. The APC covers editorial and production costs, web hosting, and dissemination.

Authors are asked to pay only after formal acceptance. The APC has no bearing on the acceptance decision.

ARTICLE PROCESSING CHARGE

Publication fee: $1,200 

Who pays: The fee is charged to the author team, but the payer (or contracting party) may be an employer, foundation, sponsor, advertiser, or an individual.

When to pay: Only after official acceptance of the article (submission and peer review are free of charge for authors).

How to pay:

• Online via a direct link from the submitting author's dashboard (the link appears after acceptance).
• By signing a formal agreement (see details below).

PAYMENT PROCEDURE

After an article is accepted, authors receive two consecutive emails:

• Official acceptance confirmation (editorial decision).
• Payment notification with detailed instructions and available payment methods.

Payment can be made in two ways:

• Online via the "Pay for publication" link in the submitting author's dashboard on the journal website (under "Author" → "Active articles"). The editorial office is notified immediately upon payment.
• By signing a formal agreement.

DISCOUNTS AND WAIVERS

• The following article types are published free of charge: opinion, commentary, discussion, information, brief report, erratum, letter to the editor, and special article.
• Reviewers who provide a high-quality and timely peer review receive credits that can be used to partially cover the cost of their own future publications.
• Authors lacking the financial means to cover publication fees may request a discount or full waiver. This request does not affect the editorial evaluation of the manuscript. Waiver or discount requests must be submitted to the editorial office before the peer review process begins.
