Article Processing Charge

Robotics Xplore does not charge any mandatory Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication. The journal operates on a hybrid access model.

All articles are initially published under a paid-access model and are available for download at US$3.00 per article.

Authors are required to pay a US$30.00 article submission fee at the time of submission. This fee covers the costs of the initial editorial screening and peer review. This submission fee is non-refundable and does not guarantee acceptance of the manuscript.

For authors who wish to make their articles immediately and freely accessible to all readers worldwide, Robotics Xplore offers an Open Access option. After an article is accepted for publication, authors may choose to pay an Open Access fee of US$300.00. Upon payment of this fee, the article will be made freely available to everyone, with no download charges.

The decision to choose Open Access is entirely optional and does not affect the editorial or peer-review process. All manuscripts are evaluated solely on the basis of their academic quality, originality, and relevance to the journal’s scope.
