Journal Creation Terms and Licensing Agreement
By choosing our journal creation service, you’re embarking on a journey to facilitate the dissemination of scientific knowledge. For a one-time fee of $500, journal owners gain access to a versatile platform designed to meet their publishing needs. When you establish a journal through our site, you commit to providing two distinct publishing systems to your authors and readers.
The first system is traditional publishing, a cost-effective choice for authors as it comes at no upfront charge. Instead, readers who download the published works will pay a modest fee, the distribution of which will be determined by you, the journal owner. Authors will receive a percentage of these fees, reflecting the quality and impact of their contributions. Additionally, we, as your service provider, will receive a 5% share to support continued platform development.
The second system is open access, where journal owners have the autonomy to set publishing fees, ensuring sustainability for the journal. While determining these fees, please note that they should not fall below $100 per publication. A 5% share of these fees will be remitted to us to support the infrastructure and services we provide.
With these two systems, you can tailor your journal’s publishing model to best suit your editorial vision and the needs of your authors and readers, all while contributing to the advancement of scientific knowledge
