Sources for Article Processing Charges (APC)

Journal of NeuroPhilosophy's Open Access Publishing Fund (JNOAPF)
Journal of NeuroPhilosophy offers extremely generous APC reductions to support authors from Low-Income Countries. This scheme is free of any bureaucratic or administrative barriers. To give this scheme a name and to refer to it in an easy way, Journal of NeuroPhilosophy's APC reduction scheme is called Journal of NeuroPhilosophy's Open Access Publishing Fund (JNOAPF).

Usually the first author of the paper will also be the corresponding author. Journal of NeuroPhilosophy will just look at the country of origin of this author and will initiate the online invoice accordingly. In case the first author and the corresponding author differ, APC reductions are determined for each author's country of origin and the least favorable APC reduction is used. This is to protect Journal of NeuroPhilosophy from possible unfair exploitation of JNOAPF.
