Open Access Book Fees
Open Access books are free for anyone to read and download, all over the world. In order to sustain this model, we charge authors a book processing charge (BPC) which covers the cost of editorial assistance, book production, indexing, and marketing. Authors can choose to publish individual chapters or entire books as Open Access. For the corresponding BPCs, please see below.
Authors interested in OA book publishing are encouraged to contact their institution or funding agency to inquire about the potential for OA support. IWA Publishing is also committed to assisting authors with potential barriers to publishing OA, so get in touch with us, as we may be able to help. All book proposals are subject to full peer review and standard processing procedures.
For more information on publishing your book OA with us, please contact our Book Commissioning Editor, Andrew Peart.
