Why do Open Access journals charge for publication?
Westland Publishers manage various journal expenses, including web hosting, editing, and open access, with authors paying modest publication fees. These fees ensure quality services such as editing, proofreading, and plagiarism checks. Article Processing Charges (APCs) cover the detailed work before accepting a manuscript. Articles in different journals are available in PDF and XML versions. As a stand-alone entity without external funding, Westland Publishers rely on publication fees for operation, covering employee salaries and other costs. The journals are open access, and APCs are typically paid by authors, research institutes, or funding agencies. Confirmation receipts are sent after payment.
