Open Access and Article Processing Charge (APC)

Open Access and Article Processing Charge (APC)

Every article published in Pathfinder of Research is freely accessible to readers under the terms of full open access (free for readers, with Article Processing Charge (APC) paid by authors or their institutions). Article processing charge (APC) of $100 USD will be applied for all accepted papers after peer review. This fee supports long-term archiving, editing, typesetting, peer review and journal management.

Invoices are emailed to the authors' designated payment contact as soon as they are accepted. Only invoices from pathfinder (@pathfinderpublisher.com) are considered authentic. No one else is authorized to pick up the APCs by us. Since Pathfinder is the sole service provider, it is not liable for the actions of other people.

Fast Publication: After undergoing peer review, authors receive an initial decision on their submissions within 30 days, and if accepted for publishing, they do so within 7 days (median values for articles published in this journal).

Acknowledgment   of   Reviewers:   Reviewers   who   provide   thorough,   timely   peer-review reports are rewarded for their efforts with vouchers that entitle them to a discount on the advance payment for their subsequent publication in any of Pathfinder's journals.
