Article Publishing Charge
As of 2023 the Journal of Parkinson’s Disease is a fully open access journal. Papers submitted for publication are subject to an article publishing fee (APC). The APC for the Journal of Parkinson’s Disease is currently US$2800.
When an article is accepted for publication in the journal, the acceptance letter will give instructions regarding fulfilling the APC payment. Authors can pay the fee by credit card or through bank transfer. Payment of the APC must be received before an article is published in the journal. Paid fees are not restituted if an article is withdrawn or retracted after acceptance.
Authors may be eligible for discounts to their APC via open access agreements that Sage has with participating institutions. Discounts depend on the terms of the agreement, find out if your institution is participating by visiting the institutional agreements page at IOS Press. Eligibility is determined by the corresponding author’s affiliation at acceptance matching an agreement. Your article may be eligible for a full or partial waiver due to our participation in initiatives to increase accessibility to publication across the international academic community. .
