Article Processing ChargesInternational Journal of Neuroinformatics
Open access publishing accelerates neuroinformatics discovery by removing paywalls and enabling global reuse. The IJNN APC is designed to be clear, competitive, and aligned with the real costs of high quality peer review, production, and permanent digital preservation so that your neuroinformatics research reaches the widest possible scientific audience.
Purpose of the APC
The International Journal of Neuroinformatics operates on a sustainable open access model. We do not charge submission fees. The APC is applied only after editorial acceptance and covers the end to end publishing services required to make your work discoverable, citable, and preserved for the long term.
For neuroinformatics research, credibility and discoverability matter. Our editorial and production teams ensure that your work on neural data integration, brain atlases, machine learning, computational modeling, and multimodal analytics is handled by subject experts, processed efficiently, and distributed globally through indexing services and citation infrastructure.
Our pricing is structured to support researchers and institutions while maintaining rigorous standards. If you are publishing with funder mandates, institutional open access requirements, or departmental targets, the IJNN APC provides transparent cost planning and clear value for your research investment.

What the APC Includes
Editorial Evaluation
Initial screening, scope alignment, and expert editor assignment to ensure research quality in neuroinformatics, neuroscience, and related clinical sciences.
Rigorous Peer Review
Rapid, double checked reviews by specialists in data standards, computational modeling, machine learning, and quantitative neuroinformatics methodology.
Production and Formatting
Professional preparation of HTML, PDF, and XML outputs with clear figures, tables, and data presentation standards.
Indexing and Discoverability
Crossref DOI registration, metadata enhancement, and submission to prominent indexing and abstracting services.
Open Access Distribution
Immediate worldwide access with Creative Commons licensing, enabling reuse, citation growth, and educational impact.
Publishing Support
Author communication, revision guidance, and production updates with a dedicated response team for each accepted manuscript.
Publishing Workflow and Impact
IJNN follows a structured workflow designed to protect research integrity while keeping timelines predictable. After submission, manuscripts receive scope and ethics screening, then move to an editor who understands the neuroinformatics focus of the work. Peer review emphasizes methodological rigor, reproducibility, and relevance to current neuroinformatics challenges.
Once accepted, your article is professionally produced with high quality layouts for figures and tables, metadata enrichment for indexing, and DOI registration for citation tracking. This workflow helps your data integration, algorithm, or computational modeling study reach funder compliant distribution channels and discoverable databases.
Open access publication supports citation growth, data reuse, and international collaboration. For authors focused on impact, the APC supports distribution, archiving, and visibility measures that extend the life of your research beyond publication and into clinical practice, diagnostics, and translational neuroscience.
Typical Workflow
- Submission and scope check
- Editor assignment and peer review
- Revision support and decision
- Production, DOI, and proofing
- Online publication and indexing
- Long term archiving and visibility
Discounts, Waivers, and Membership Savings
We support equitable publishing and recognize the contributions of our editorial community. Waivers are applied after acceptance and cannot be combined unless explicitly approved.
Eligible editors and reviewers receive waivers of up to 30 percent of the standard APC. This reflects the time invested in maintaining the quality and integrity of the journal.
Partial waivers are available for authors based in low income and lower middle income countries to reduce financial barriers to open access dissemination.
Students with valid institutional identification may qualify for a flat APC of $540 USD for any article type. This rate supports early career neuroinformatics researchers.
IJNN Membership provides APC savings of up to 40 percent depending on the tier. It is an efficient option for research groups with ongoing publication plans.
Payment and Compliance
Once your manuscript is accepted, you will receive an invoice and a secure payment link. Payments are processed in USD and may be completed by authors, institutions, or funding bodies. We can issue invoices suitable for institutional purchasing requirements on request.
Open access compliance is supported with clear licensing, DOI registration, and long term hosting. This ensures your work is discoverable, properly cited, and compliant with funder and institutional mandates.
For grant reporting and budget planning, we can provide pro forma invoices and confirmation letters when requested. Our team is experienced in supporting institutional payment workflows, including procurement references and documentation needed for finance approvals.
Withdrawal after three days from submission is subject to a 30 percent withdrawal charge. This policy protects editorial resources and discourages duplicate submissions. Please submit only when you are ready to proceed with peer review.
