Open access article processing charge (APC) information

Publication in the journal is subject to payment of an article processing charge (APC). The APC serves to support the journal and ensures that articles are freely accessible online in perpetuity under a Creative Commons license.

The charge is reduced by 17% for active members of the Canadian Society of Nephrology (CSN).

	CSN members	CSN non-members
Case reports and research letters	USD 1411	USD 1700
Everything else	USD 1743	USD 2100

You don’t have to live in Canada to join the CSN and there are multiple other benefits. You can join here. Associate (corresponding) membership is for clinicians, researchers and trainees working on kidney health outside of Canada and is CAD 150.

The article processing charge (APC) is payable when a manuscript is accepted after peer review, before it is published. The APC is subject to taxes where applicable. Please see further details here.

Corresponding authors currently working in any of the countries listed on the Research4Life Group A are eligible for a waiver of the APC (i.e., you will not be charged); Research4Life Group B corresponding authors receive a 50% discount; please let us know when you submit that this is the case. This will not affect the scientific review of your paper in any way.
