copyediting, as well as online hosting, long-term preservation, distribution to libraries and

Please note, that there are no charges for manuscript submissions: the fee is due only for
accepted manuscripts after the peer-review process. Editors and reviewers are not involved in

influence whether or not a manuscript is accepted for publication.
The APC is Euro 600/paper. However, depending on the economic strength of the country in
which the corresponding author is located, discounts of 50% or 75% respectively may be
applicable. The details:
