Three article types. One fair price per manuscript.
Pay for the manuscripts your journal receives, not for seats or modules. Start free for 50 submissions, then choose per-submission billing or a yearly bundle.
Every plan starts free for the first 50 submissions. Prices in US dollars, excluding applicable taxes.

Billing notes
How billing works.
B1What counts as a submission?
A new manuscript received through Submission Desk. Revisions, resubmissions of the same manuscript and withdrawn submissions within 7 days are not counted.
B2What happens after the first 50?
Your journal moves to the plan you choose. Nothing is switched off and no data is moved; billing simply begins with submission 51.
B3Do authors pay anything?
No. Plascipub bills the journal. Any article charges are set by your journal and shown to authors before they submit.
B4Can we change plans?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades apply immediately, and unused yearly bundle submissions carry over to the new plan.
Acknowledgements
Every journal on Plascipub starts the same way: one letter, fifty free submissions, and an editorial office ready the same week.
