Journal of Climate Action, Research, and Policy

Open Access

Journal of Climate Action, Research, and Policy (JOCARP) is an Open Access journal published by World Scientific. This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.

Publishing on an Open Access basis allows authors to retain the copyright to the article, have the final version of their papers published immediately, and have unrestricted access to the final published version of the paper. This is made available using the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) or any Creative Commons License that the author has chosen. It allows immediate deposit of the final published version in other repositories without restriction on re-use.

JOCARP has the intention to promote the values of open science.

Article Processing Charge APC

The article processing charge (APC) is based on the actual length of the paper, using the Nominal Guidelines for Manuscript Length vs. Type (see here). Please note that while the actual length of a manuscript of a given type may fall outside these nominal guidelines at the discretion of the author, the APC will be based on the actual number of pages of the paper. Thus the APC of a case study that actually has 15 pages will have an APC corresponding to the nominal charge for a research paper of 11-20 pages.

1. APC of US$2,000
   Research or review manuscript: 11-20 (or more if approved) pages
   
   
2. APC of US$1,000
   Case study, organization climate activity description, or policy paper: 6-10 pages
   
   
3. APC of US$500
   Commentary or letter: 1-5 pages

If you have any questions on the APC, please send an email to Geysilla Jean Ortiz, JoCARP Desk Editor, jocarp@wspc.com.
