Publication Fees and Waivers

A $1500 publication service charge applies to all accepted papers.

In addition, Genome Research offers an Open Access (OA) option whereby authors may pay an Article Processing Charge (APC) of $3700 to make their paper freely available online immediately upon publication.

Note: The OA APC is in addition to the journal's $1500 publication service charge, which applies to all accepted papers.

If your institution has a Transformative License Agreement with CSHL Press at the time of manuscript acceptance, your publication fees may have been prepaid.

No other fees are levied, including for the use of color figures, nor the hosting of Supplemental Material on the journal's server.

CSHL Press waives or discounts publication fees for eligible authors as part of our waiver and discount policy. Publication fees are fully waived for corresponding authors from countries listed in "Group A" by Research4Life, and discounts are available for corresponding authors from countries listed in "Group B".

A limited number of discretionary waivers are available for authors who are unable to pay the publication fee, but who do not qualify for geographically based waivers.

No waivers are granted for optional Open Access fees.

Publication fee waiver requests must be submitted to [email protected] at the same time that the manuscript is submitted to the journal. Any supporting documentation providing evidence of inability to pay the publication fee, such as a statement from the author's funder, institution, or supervisor/head of department would be helpful in supporting CSHL Press's decision-making process.

Some journals may offer prearranged fee waivers for commissioned articles, and these should be discussed with journal editors prior to submission.

Waiver status will have no effect on Editorial consideration, acceptance, or publication of submitted papers.
