Article processing charges (APCs)

The open-access publishing model of Primate Biology requires the financing of the individual article upon publication. These article processing charges (APCs), which are levied for the publication of the final journal paper, will be waived upon request. However, if authors are able to afford the APCs, the following pricing scheme will be applied:

Price per page Description
Category 1 €55 net LaTeX submissions using the Copernicus Publications LaTeX Package
Category 2 €60 net Word submissions using the Copernicus Publications Word Template
English language copy-editing is included in the article processing charges.
APCs are levied for any pages included in the produced article's *.pdf file, including appendices, the reference list, acknowledgements, disclaimers, review statements, code and data availability statements, and other such information sections. The supplement, however, is free of charge since it is not part of the main article's *.pdf file.

  • all online tools for authors, editors, and reviewers;
  • professional processing of figures;
  • typesetting, editing, and formatting in PDFLaTeX;
  • English language copy-editing;
  • immediate open-access publication of each article;
  • indexing in international scientific databases and reference services;
  • long-term archiving via Portico and CLOCKSS, as well as a number of national libraries.
