Oxton Science Journal maintains a transparent fee policy, published permanently on this page. Charges, where they exist, are announced before submission and are never connected to the editorial evaluation of a manuscript.
Current Fees
The journal currently charges no submission fee and no article processing charge (APC) for regular submissions. Publication is therefore free of charge for authors, and all articles are released in immediate open access.
Optional Fast Track Fee
An optional fast track administrative fee is available for authors who need priority administrative handling. Fast track accelerates waiting times between editorial stages only; it does not guarantee acceptance, does not replace or shorten peer review and has no influence on the editorial decision. See the Fast Track Policy.
Waivers
Where fees apply, full or partial waivers may be granted under the Waiver Policy, evaluated separately from the editorial process.
Changes
Any future change in fees will be announced on this page and will apply only to submissions received after the change. Manuscripts under evaluation remain governed by the policy in force at their submission.
