Open Access: Article Processing Charges Info

Article Processing Charges

Journals may charge authors Article Processing Charges (APC). However, as a result of negotiated licensing agreements via our participation in the Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN) consortium, some of the journals in our collection allow free OA publishing or discounted APCs for NOSM University authors.

If you are planning to submit your manuscript to a journal and would like to know if the selected journal offers free OA publishing or a discounted APC rate use the chart below or email: askthelibrary@nosm.ca
