Overview

As a publisher, Madison Academic Press (MAP) disseminates fully peer-reviewed and Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) compliant open access Journals that are published online.

All Content is Open Access and Free for Readers

Journals published by MAP are fully open access; research articles, reviews or any other content on this platform are available to everyone free-of-charge. To be able to provide open access journals, we finance publication through article processing charges (APC) (The APC of each journal is given on journal webpages); these are usually covered by the authors' institutes or research funding bodies. Read more about our Open Access Policy.

APC

MAP publishes all its journals full open access. There are not any funding and financial sponsorships. an APC therefore covers the costs of peer review management, copyediting and production services, data conversion, and dissemination of published content, in addition to other publishing functions. There are no charges for declined articles. Some items (Editorials, Corrections, Addendums, Retractions, Comments, etc.) are published free of charge. Please check the Article Process Charge page of each journal for specific APCs.
