All articles published in the Journal of Optics and Photonics Research are published in Gold Open Access. In order to provide free access to readers and to cover the costs of peer review, copyediting, typesetting, long-term archiving, and journal management, an article processing charge (APC) of 1800 USD (US dollars) applies to papers of up to 12 pages accepted after peer review. For manuscripts exceeding 12 pages, an additional over-length fee of 20 USD (US dollars) per page will be charged. Submissions made between May 1 and July 31, 2026 are eligible for a discounted APC at 60% of the standard rate (i.e., 1080 USD); this discount applies only to the standard APC for manuscripts of up to 12 pages, and does not apply to any over-length fees. All authors are encouraged to plan ahead regarding their ability to cover the entire APC and any applicable over-length fees.
The Journal of Optics and Photonics Research does not charge a submission fee, which means there are no charges for rejected articles. Some items (Editorials, Corrections, Addendums, Retractions, Comments, etc.) are published free of charge.
The prices quoted do not include any value-added tax (VAT), goods and services tax (GST), or other sales taxes. Tax may be charged in addition to the price shown, where required by law. The amount of tax charged will be calculated at the point of sale and identified separately. If you have a VAT, GST, or other sales tax identification number, you should provide this when requested.
To help support researchers who are unable to meet some or all of the costs associated with publishing open access, we operate a transparent waiver policy. Automatic 50% waiver for article processing charges on manuscripts where the corresponding author is based in any of the countries listed below.
Please note that the waiver applies only to the APC and does not cover over-length fees.
To prevent double-charging, a full refund of the Article Processing Charge (APC) will be given if other funding is later used for the same article. APCs are otherwise non-refundable once publishing services have been provided. Retractions or removals are usually beyond the journal's control and do not reduce the services already provided or our responsibility to maintain the scholarly record. No refund will be made when articles are retracted due to author error or misconduct.
