Open Access

Journals published by TSP are fully open access; research articles, reviews or any other content on this platform are available to everyone free-of-charge. To be able to provide open access journals, we finance publication through article processing charges (APC) (The APC of each journal is given on journal webpages); these are usually covered by the authors' institutes or research funding bodies.

Article Processing Charges (APC)

TSP publishes all its journals as fully open access. There are no external funding sources or financial sponsorships; therefore, an Article Processing Charge (APC) is required to cover the costs associated with peer review management, copyediting, production services, data conversion, and content dissemination, among other publishing functions. There are no charges for declined articles. Some items (Editorials, Corrections, Retractions, etc.) are published free of charge.
