​Revenue Sources

American Journal of Trade and Policy is a self supporting journal and does not receive funding from any institution/government. Hence, the operation of the journal is solely financed by the publication fees received from authors. The APC is required to meet operations expenses such as employees, salaries, internet services, electricity etc. Being an Subscription Access Journal, this journal receives payment for subscription as the journal is not freely accessible over the internet. Download charge per article is US$ 14. Article processing charge (APC) is US$ 140. It costs money to produce a peer-reviewed, edited, and formatted article that is ready for online publication, and to host it on a server that is accessible without barriers around the clock. 
American Journal of Trade and Policy covers the costs of journal production, web hosting, CMS, database, online repository, peer review, editing and online publication (subscription access) through a modest and affordable APC paid by authors.
