Publishing agreement and charges

Authors, please read each section on the publishing agreement and charges carefully. Even if your publishing agreement (also called a licence) does not carry a charge, page and colour charges may apply.

If you have any questions relating to your publishing agreement or charges please contact our support.

Publishing agreement

After your manuscript is accepted, you will be asked to sign a licence to publish through our licencing and payment portal at www.KursEvi.az . The Journal offers the option of publishing under either a non-open access (standard) licence or an open access (Creative Commons) licence. There is a charge to publish under an open access licence, which allows your paper to be freely accessible to all readers immediately upon online publication. Editorial decisions occur prior to this step and are not influenced by payment or ability to pay. The standard licence makes your paper available only to Journal subscribers and there is no licence charge. This licence grants AJANC an exclusive licence to publish and distribute the content. There is no transfer of ownership of the copyright. You, the author, retain copyright for the content.

Papers can be published under the following:

• Standard licence to publish 
• Creative Commons Attribution licence (CC BY)
• Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial licence (CC BY-NC)

Complying with funder mandates

Please note that some funders require open access publication as a condition of funding. If you are unsure whether you are required to publish open access, please do clarify any such requirements with your funder or institution before selecting your licence.

Charges

Open access charges

Please contact us for details on open access, licences and charges at [email protected]. If you select an open access licence, you must pay the open access charge or request to use an institutional agreement to pay the open access charge through our licencing and payment portal at www.KursEvi.az .

AJANC and UIM Publishing has a growing number of open access agreements with institutions and consortia, which provide funding for open access publishing (also known as Read and Publish agreements). This means corresponding authors from participating institutions can publish open access, and the institution may pay the charge.

To be eligible for one of UIM Publishing's specialised agreements, the corresponding author must provide their qualifying institution as their primary affiliation when they submit their manuscript. 

Member discounts

Corresponding authors who are members of ASN may be eligible for discounts on publication charges. Please provide your member identifier when prompted as you submit your manuscript.
