Article Processing Charge (APC) Policy

Journal of Automation, Mobile Robotics and Intelligent Systems is an open-access journal freely available to all readers. To publish in Journal of Automation, Mobile Robotics and Intelligent Systems (JAMRIS), authors are asked to pay the publication fee (APC), which applies to the articles accepted for publication after peer-review and possible revision of the article. Article Processing Charge covers costs of publishing, online hosting, and long-term archiving of articles published in JAMRIS.

There are no charges for rejected articles, no submission fees, and no surcharges based on of an article length. Once an article receives two positive reviews and the author has addressed all required revisions, the author must pay the APC into the publisher’s designated bank account within seven (7) days. If the APC is not paid within the specified time, the article will be returned to the author without further action. In cases of incomplete payment, the publisher will notify the author and request the outstanding amount. If the full payment is not completed within seven (7) days of the notification, no further action will be taken, and the article will not be processed to publication.

The publication fee for all published articles is 200€ including VAT.
 
All bank charges related to the transaction are the responsibility of the author. Please ensure that the payment is made in EUR, as the account is denominated in EUR. Any conversion fees or exchange rate losses are the responsibility of the sender.
JAMRIS does not currently offer exemptions or discounts. Authors from all countries are subject to the same APC. Refunds are not possible once an article has been published.
