The APC is charged in Canadian dollars (CAD, plus tax) to authors in Canada, and in American dollars (USD) to authors outside of Canada. Standard APC amounts by article type are as follows:
Authors may apply for a discount within ScholarOne — the journal’s online submission and peer review system — only after acceptance. Several discounts and waivers are available:
The University of California (UC)/Canadian Science Publishing Open Access Agreement enables UC corresponding authors to publish open access by default in all of CSP’s journals. The UC libraries automatically pay the first $1000 of the open access publishing fee for all UC-affiliated corresponding authors. Authors are asked to pay the remainder of the fee from research funds, or, if such funds are not available, the UC libraries will pay the remainder. If the APC is less than $1000 USD, UC will pay the full APC amount but authors will still be asked to complete the University of California Open Access Payment form.

We are actively investigating methods of sponsorship and external funding that would provide support for authors who may not be able to cover the cost of an APC in part or in full. If you or your organization is interested in sponsoring publication costs for a group of authors (either by institution, field of study, or geography), please contact Kristina Henrikson . Sign-up for the FACETS newsletter to keep up to date on all developments regarding discounted APCs or alternative funding models.
After acceptance, authors will be asked to enter contact information for the person(s) who will pay the APC in ScholarOne, after which the publisher will issue and invoice.
Payment must be received in full before production can begin, and can be made by credit card, cheque, or wire transfer.
Payment must be made in full by one author (or their sponsor). Multiple sources of payment will not be accepted.
The publisher, Canadian Science Publishing, may at their discretion refund an APC or offer credit towards a future publication.
