Article processing charge (APC)

In the Journal of Food Science and Gastronomy, an article processing charge (APC) of $230.00 USD covers the costs of editorial processing and open-access publication, thus allowing all articles to be accessible without restrictions to the global scientific community. Additionally, this APC includes payment for English language translation and review and correction services for Spanish-speaking authors. It should be noted that this APC is implemented on a non-profit basis and is designed exclusively to maintain the quality and sustainability of the editorial process.

When articles are accepted for publication, authors will receive an email from the journal with information on how to pay the APC ($230.00 USD). No fees will be charged for withdrawing the manuscript after submission.

Gold Open Access

The Gold Open Access model refers to a publishing system where articles are freely and immediately available to readers online without subscriptions or payments. In this model, authors or their institutions cover the publication costs by paying the publisher a fee, which includes the peer review process, typesetting, and hosting the article on the publisher’s platform. This fee is known as the Article Processing Charge (APC).

Gold Open Access journals are generally considered more accessible and visible than traditional subscription-based journals. Anyone with internet access can read them, and they are often indexed in prominent academic databases. Furthermore, this model promotes greater transparency and facilitates the rapid dissemination of research, which can increase the visibility and impact of the authors.
