Publication Fees

Journal of the Global Power and Propulsion Society is an open-access journal. To publish in the journal, authors are required to pay an article-processing charge (APC). However, articles are not subject to a submission fee. An invoice will be issued by GPPS after the accepted paper was typeset. Payment is a condition for publication.

The APC for the journal is 750 CHF for up to 14 typeset pages, and 130 CHF for each page over that.

For members of GPPS, the journal offers a discounted APC of 500 CHF for up to 14 typeset pages and a charge of 130 CHF for each page over that.

The journal offers free publication, to papers (up to 14 typeset pages) recommended for publication in the journal, after submission to the GPPS technical conference. However, if these papers are over 14 pages, they will incur a charge of 130 CHF per page for excess pages.

Page extent calculator

You can download our spreadsheet to estimate the number of pages of your final typeset article (i.e., the PDF version published in the Journal of the Global Power and Propulsion Society); just fill in the grey cells. You can gauge roughly how much of page figures and tables will cover on average, from 1/6th of a page for small figures up to 3 pages for large tables. This is an estimate only. The actual page extent of the typeset PDF may vary.
