Open Access Publication

APJLM is fully open access. The publisher applies an article processing charge of US$1500 per article, payable only after acceptance and never at submission. Authors invited to contribute qualify for a full waiver, and discounted charges may be granted in other cases. If the charge would stop you from submitting, write to the editorial office first and you will get a clear answer before you prepare the manuscript.
