Information for Authors
Wiley-Blackwell, together with The Protein Society, would like to announce changes to the fees charged to authors for publication in the journal Protein Science, and introduce a new benefit to members of The Protein Society. Effective January 1, 2012, publication fees are assessed as follows:
Original Articles & Uninvited Reviews $750 for non-members; $500 for Protein Society members
For The Record & Protein Structure Reports $550 for non-members; $300 for Protein Society members
This replaces the journal’s previous policy of charging authors a publication fee on a per-page basis.
The color charge policy remains unchanged. All color figures will be reproduced in full color in the online edition of the journal at no cost to the authors. Figures appearing in color in the printed (hard copy) edition of the journal will be at the author’s expense at a rate of $350 per page of color. The first page of color art in print will be provided free of charge to corresponding authors who are also Protein Society members. The publication of Invited Reviews is provided free of charge, and all color in Invited Reviews is also provided free of charge. The publisher will provide cost estimates prior to printing.
