Article Processing Charges

The Article Processing Charge (APC) for Challenges in Neural Networks: Theory, Algorithms, and Applications is set at 350 USD per publication, a critical investment towards maintaining the open access model. This fee underpins the journal's commitment to ensuring immediate, unrestricted access to the latest Neural Networks research. Specifically, the APC covers:

  • Peer Review Management: Facilitating a rigorous, single-blind peer review process, including coordination and administration efforts to uphold the journal's academic standards.
  • Editorial Services: Providing comprehensive support from submission to publication, including manuscript tracking, communication, and editorial decision-making.
  • Digital Object Identifier (DOI): Each published book is assigned a unique DOI, enabling seamless identification, easy access, and accurate citation by researchers worldwide.
  • Production Costs: Encompassing professional typesetting, formatting, and the integration of enhanced digital content (images, videos, and interactive data visualizations) to ensure articles are presented in a reader-friendly format.
  • Open Access Fees: Guaranteeing that all published articles are freely accessible worldwide, without subscription fees or access charges, enabling wider dissemination and engagement with the content.
  • Long-term Archiving: Ensuring the preservation of digital articles in secure archives for perpetual access and reference, safeguarding the scholarly record.
  • Promotion and Dissemination: Implementing strategies to enhance the visibility and impact of published research through marketing and communication channels, increasing citations and academic recognition.

Investing in the APC allows Challenges in Neural Networks: Theory, Algorithms, and Applications to sustain its mission of fostering open scientific dialogue, advancing Neural Networks research, and contributing to the global knowledge base in a responsible and ethical manner.
