General requirements

Author based financing

It is understandable that publishing of PEC costs some amount of money. The costs of producing a journal include managing peer review and editorial control, technical support, distribution etc. This is the main reason that PEC use an author based financing system. The authors are not charged for getting their papers reviewed - so if your manuscript is rejected then you pay nothing. It is as a challenge to the traditional subscription-based publishing model by offering an alternative - an article processing fee. The charges received from authors are only one part. The additional money comes from institutional membership fees, grants, donations, some advertising, and additional subscription-based products.
