Acta Physica Polonica A

Acta Physica Polonica A (APPA) is an open access journal freely available to all readers. To publish in APPA, authors are asked to pay an article publication charge (APC) for manuscripts submitted starting 3 September 2025, as announced previously. The APC covers the costs of editorial work, management of the journal, printing, publication, and open access online to the journal articles. The APC only applies if the article is accepted for publication after peer-review and possible revision of the manuscript. There are no charges for rejected articles, no submission charges.

Article publication charges

The APCs for published articles are as follows:

Articles up to 10 pages long	400 EUR net plus 23% VAT	(492 EUR including VAT)
	1600 PLN net plus 23% VAT	(1968 PLN including VAT)
Additional pages	25 EUR plus 23% VAT	(30.75 EUR gross)
	100 PLN plus 23% VAT	(123 PLN gross)

Page counts are made according to the final author-submitted accepted version of the article as converted by the editorial team into journal format, including figures and bibliography. After acceptance the editorial team will contact you regarding the APC and due date, and a pro-forma invoice will be sent from our finances department. By default the due date is 14 days after sending of the pro-forma invoice and currency PLN for corresponding authors' affiliation in Poland and in EUR otherwise, unless the corresponding author requests differently.

Accepted articles will not be published until payment has been received. Refunds or partial refunds of the APC are possible only for manuscripts withdrawn from the editorial process on request of the corresponding author, and are not possible once article has been published.
