It supports the principle that 'the results of research that have been publicly funded should be freely accessible in the public domain’ and, therefore, it encourages researchers to make their research available through Open Access (OA).
1541        </p>
1542<p>Open Access publishing involves some fee that has to be paid by the authors. To provide open access, <a target="xrefwindow" href="https://benthamopenscience.com/">Bentham Open</a> journals partly defray the expenses of journal production and online hosting and archiving for authors and their research sponsors by charging a publication fee for each published article. The fee varies from journal to journal.
1543        </p>
1544<p>The Article Processing Charges (APC) for each general article (Irrespective of Research Article, Review Art
1544icle, Case Study, etc.) published in this journal are
1545            <strong>US $850</strong>.
1546        </p>
1547<p>The Article Processing Charges (APC) for articles published in this journal within thematic issues are
1548            <strong>US $680</strong>.
1549        </p>
1550<p>The following special discounts are offered to authors and editorial board members:</p>
1551
1552<a name="L1"></a>
1553<ul style="">
1554<li>Authors from <a target="xrefwindow" href="https://benthamopenscience.com/">Bentham Open</a> Member institutes are entitled to up to a 20% discount on their article processing fees.
1555</li>
1556<li>All editors and editorial board members of <a target="xrefwindow" href="https://benthamopenscience.com/">Bentham Open</a> journals are entitled to publish their articles free of charge.
1557</li>
1558<li>Waivers and additional discount requests are decided on the basis of the author's country of origin and the quality of the submitted article. Editors and reviewers have no knowledge of whether authors are able to pay; decisions to publish are only based on meeting the editorial criteria.
1559</li>
1560<li>
1561<a target="xrefwindow" href="https://benthamopenscience.com/">Bentham Open</a>  does not impose submission charges.
1562                
1563</li>
1564</ul>
1565<p>Once the paper is accepted for publication, the author will receive an electronic invoice via email. </p>

1591<div>
1592<p>Kindly remember that requests for waivers or discounts should be made during the initial submission process, not after an article has been accepted. This process does not involve editors, and the ability to pay does not influence editorial decisions. Payment is not required unless and until the author's article is accepted. Articles that have been accepted will not be published until payment has been received. Bentham Science does not refund the publication fee once it has been paid.</p>

1599<div>
1600<span class="tl-lowest-section"><h4 class="h4-fonts">Prior to Publication:</h4></span>
1601<p>If Bentham genuinely believes that the article should not be published, we reserve the right to decline publication and refund the publication fee.</p>
1602</div>
1603<div>
1604<span class="tl-lowest-section"><h4 class="h4-fonts">After Publication:</h4></span>
1605<p>If Bentham genuinely believes that the article should be retracted or removed from our website, for example, due to a breach of author warranties, we are under no obligation to refund the publication fee. The publication fee will not be refunded when articles are retracted due to author error or misconduct.</p>
1606<p>Delays caused by editorial decisions or author changes are a normal part of the publishing process.</p>
