Transparent APCs for Neuroscience Publishing
The Journal of Nervous System and Physiological Phenomena publishes with a clear, predictable APC model that supports rigorous peer review, professional production, and fast global discovery. Our fees are structured to keep open access sustainable while protecting author rights and scientific quality. We also provide guidance on funder compliance, repository options, and invoicing to keep administrative overhead low.
APC Pricing by Article Type
Article processing charges are set by manuscript type to reflect review depth, production time, and typical length. All fees are quoted in USD and billed only after acceptance, with invoices issued to authors or institutions as requested.

APCs support the editorial and publishing infrastructure required to deliver a trusted open access journal. For nervous system research, this means complete transparency, consistent review standards, and global access for clinicians, researchers, and policy makers. We keep pricing language simple so labs, departments, funders, and early career authors can plan budgets without uncertainty.
What the APC Covers
Your APC funds expert editorial coordination, double blind peer review, integrity screening, professional copyediting, layout production, metadata creation, and permanent hosting. These steps protect the scientific record and maximize article credibility across the neuroscience and neurophysiology communities. The APC also supports persistent identifiers and structured metadata that improve discoverability in academic search systems.
Member Discounts and Institutional Support
Authors with active membership receive up to 45 percent APC savings. Institutional agreements and society partners may provide additional support. If your department or lab covers publishing costs, the APC can be invoiced directly to simplify approvals.
Fee Transparency and No Hidden Charges
All fees are communicated before acceptance. There are no surprise charges for figures, tables, or additional pages. Authors receive a complete cost summary, allowing grants, labs, and institutions to plan publication budgets with confidence.
Equity, Waivers, and Responsible Support
We understand that funding conditions vary across regions and career stages. When justified, authors may request APC support or partial waivers to ensure important neuroscience findings are not delayed by short term budget limitations. Our team reviews requests quickly and confidentially.
APC Workflow from Submission to Publication
We keep the payment process clear and predictable so research teams can focus on science and revision. APC billing begins only after acceptance and final production checks.
Submit Your Manuscript
Use Manuscript Zone or the Simple Manuscript Submission form to upload your files. Our editorial office performs an initial quality screen and assigns expert reviewers in neuroscience, neurophysiology, and clinical neurology.
Peer Review and Decision
After review, you receive a decision with clear revision guidance. The APC is confirmed only for accepted manuscripts and can be processed through institutional invoicing or direct payment, depending on your preference.
Production and Publication
Copyediting, formatting, and final checks ensure your article meets indexing and archiving requirements. Once published, your work is immediately accessible to the global scientific community without paywalls.
Payment Options and Support
We accept institutional invoicing, bank transfer, or card payment depending on your location and funder requirements. If you need supporting documentation for grant reporting, our team can provide invoices and receipts tailored to your administrative workflow.
