Publishing Papers in Academic Journals (Gold OA)
When publishing a paper as open access (OA) on websites managed by academic journal publishers, authors are required to pay an Article Processing Charge (APC). The APC is a fee to make papers available as OA, and it applies to articles submitted to either fully OA journals (where all papers are OA) or hybrid OA journals (where authors can choose OA publishing within subscription-based journals).
APC Waiver and Discounts for Open Access Publications
Here we provide information about the Open Access (OA) publishing support system (Read & Publish) offered by Waseda University. Please note that depending on the agreement with publishers, the Article Processing Charge (APC) for publishing OA papers may be waived or discounted. As these procedures are subject to change, please be sure to check the detailed information provided by each publisher on the internal webpage at the time of your article submission or acceptance.

In addition to the above, we provide the following on-campus support programs. Please refer to the webpage of each program for details.
