Article Processing Charge (APC)

As an Open Access journal where articles are freely available online for readers and are freely downloadable with no subscription paywalls, we do require some APCs (Article Processing Charges) to cover our article processing and publication expenses.

APCs cover the costs of:

• peer review management
• copy-editing
• Typesetting
• XML and PDF conversion
• PDF and other formats' production
• DOI number costs for each article,  [mEDRA service for DOI deposit]
• Indexing (Databases) services

All authors go through APC regardless of the acceptance or rejection conditions of the articles, and this process ensures a fair and transparent peer review process.

* Article Processing and review charge (APC): 500 Euro (VAT included)

PhD students, medical residents, and other young health professionals (under 30 years of age): the authors of the submitted manuscript (a maximum of 2 manuscripts per year) must comply with the aims and guidelines of Progress in Nutrition. A maximum of four students may be included among the authors. Mandatory mentorship/tutoring to support students in writing and submitting research manuscripts is required. The mentor’s name must be listed as a co-author and reported in the cover letter. These submissions are exempt from APC (Article Processing Charge).

The APC can be paid by paypal or credit card.

Upon article acceptance, all authors will receive instructions on the APC payment procedure via e-mail.
