Article Processing Charges

For the journal "AI Governance and Society," the Article Processing Charges (APCs) policy regarding free publication typically means:

  • The journal may offer free APCs (no charge for publication) either permanently or under certain conditions to promote open access and equitable knowledge dissemination.

  • Free APCs are often extended to authors from low- and middle-income countries, early-career researchers, or collaborators without research funding.

  • Some journals are fully waived APC because they are supported by institutions, societies, or grants.

  • Authors should check the journal’s official website or submission guidelines to confirm whether APCs are charged or waived.

  • In cases the journal has APCs, authors can sometimes apply for fee waivers or discounts.

If "AI Governance and Society" states free APC explicitly, it means authors can publish their articles at no cost, supporting wider participation and accessibility in AI governance research.
