Fees or Article Processing Charges

Authors cannot add additional co-authors after receiving the
acceptance notification for publication. WSEAS does not accept new
authors or changes to author names after the review process or once a
paper has been accepted. This policy is in place due to concerns
regarding the ethics and methodology of research. There are online
groups and social media platforms where authorship in accepted papers
can be purchased, and WSEAS does not wish to be associated with such
practices in academic publishing.
Additionally, there is a maximum page limit of 10 pages per article.
For articles exceeding this limit, a fee of 60 euros per additional
page will be charged. This fee is necessary to cover the extra
workload for WSEAS staff involved in editing and proofreading articles
in English.
In some of our newer journals, we can offer discounts or even waive
the fees. However, this does not apply to journals established before
2010. From 2002 to 2021, most WSEAS journals did not impose any fees
or Article Processing Charges (APCs), despite being Open Access since
January 1, 2007. However, after 2021, WSEAS introduced fees and APCs.
Over 50% of authors in WSEAS transactions have published their papers
without paying any APCs.
Requests for minor corrections after online publication—such as those
related to language, figures, or formatting—will be reviewed by a
Managing Editor and our Secretariat. Corrections resulting from issues
not caused by the WSEAS Secretariat or WebMaster will incur a fee of
100 EUR per page.
Requests for major corrections after online publication—such as those
related to the scientific content or references—will be forwarded to
the Editor-in-Chief for review. The decision may lead to approval for
corrections (following peer review) or rejection. If approved, a fee
of 100 EUR per page will also apply.
For Articles that will be uploaded after March 25, 2022, the APCs are as follows
