Classroom Experiences (E-ISSN 2988-3849)
Introduction
Classroom Experiences is a fully Open Access journal. To cover editorial and publishing costs (peer-review management, production, hosting, long-term archiving), CE applies Article Processing Charges (APC) only to accepted manuscripts. Fees never influence editorial decisions.
Article Processing Charges (APC)
- Base APC: USD 50 — covers the first 10 pages of the final (valid since 2026) PDF.
- Additional pages: starting from page 11, USD 5 per page.
- Invoicing: issued after acceptance only.
- Payer: the corresponding/submitting author arranges payment.
What counts as a “page”
The page count is taken from the final PDF (from title page through references), including figures, tables, and appendices embedded in the main file. Supplementary/online-only files are not counted.
Fee Examples
Article Submission Charges (ASC) & Article Publication Charges (APubC)
- ASC: None (USD 0).
- APubC: None (USD 0).
Waivers & Discounts
- Full APC waiver for authors from low-income countries (per reputable listings, e.g., World Bank).
- Full APC waiver if the corresponding author’s h-index ≥ 5 (Scopus or Web of Science) at the time of acceptance.
- Reviewer credit: USD 5 discount per verified completed review (redeemable by the same reviewer as corresponding author on a future submission; maximum one discount per article unless otherwise stated).
Penalty Fee
- USD 10 if an author withdraws a manuscript during peer review or production.
- If a manuscript under review is not revised by the deadline and the author does not respond until the issue closes, CE may take actions in line with editorial policy regarding authorship and publication rights.
