Why Open Access?
At the VL Journal of Environmental Research, we believe that access to scientific knowledge is a fundamental right. Our open-access policy ensures that:
- Research is freely available to anyone, anywhere in the world, facilitating collaboration and informed decision-making.
- Authors retain copyright of their work, ensuring that their contributions can be widely disseminated and credited.
- There are no subscription fees, making it possible for researchers and practitioners in developing regions and underfunded institutions to access valuable scientific information.
All articles are published under a Creative Commons license, allowing for broad dissemination and sharing of research findings.
Article Processing Charges
As part of our commitment to open access, an article processing charge (APC) of USD 250 is charged to authors upon the acceptance of a manuscript. This fee supports the journal's operational costs, including peer review, editorial services, and publication, ensuring the high quality and accessibility of our content. However, we also offer discounts and waivers for authors from low- and middle-income countries upon an evaluation on a case-to-case basis.
