Open Access Option
Mathematical Models and Methods in Applied Sciences (M3AS) is a hybrid journal which offers authors the choice of publishing their articles as Open Access by paying an Article Processing Charge (APC).APC supports open access publication including but not limited to running peer-review systems, copyediting and typesetting, hosting the article in perpetuity on dedicated servers, and marketing.
Choosing to publish the articles on an Open Access basis allows authors to retain the copyright to the article and have their final version of their papers published with immediate and 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.
Article Processing Charge
The standard APC of this journal is US$2,500 plus VAT or any local taxes where applicable in your country.
