Article Processing Charges (APC)
Social Geography is committed to the Open Access model of publishing. This ensures free web access to the results of research and maximum visibility for published papers. However, it requires the author or a supporting institution to pay the costs of the review process, typesetting, web publication and long term archiving. These service charges are categorized according to the submitted material and levied for the publication in the discussion forum, while the publication in the journal is then free of charge. |
The discussion paper style leads to three times more pages than the classic manuscript style. Rule of thumb: discussion pages = characters / 1,900 + # tables + # figures |
