JALR is an open-access journal: readers pay nothing to read or reuse its articles. Publication costs are met by an article processing charge (APC), set out in full on this page.
USD 1,200
For each accepted article, payable only after acceptance.
The charge
The APC for the Journal of Alzheimer’s Research and Therapy is USD 1,200 per accepted article. It becomes payable only after the manuscript has been accepted for publication, and billing details are sent to the corresponding author at that point.
| Stage | Charge |
|---|---|
| Submission and review | No charge |
| After acceptance | USD 1,200 |
Editorial decisions are independent of the APC and of any fee-relief inquiry.
