Publication Fees
Open Access articles are free for anyone to read and download, all over the world. To sustain this model, journal costs including editorial assistance, article production, indexing, and marketing are covered either by author charges or via our Subscribe to Open initiative. As a not-for-profit society publisher, any surplus generated by our publishing activities are rechanneled towards the charitable missions of the International Water Association; including contributions to sustainable development in a water-wise world.

Waivers
We believe that anyone should be able to publish Open Access. As such, we are proud to partner with Research4Life and EIFL to grant waivers to authors in eligible countries. For more information on our waiver programme, see here.
Open Access journals without APCs
The following journals operate under a Subscribe to Open (S2O) model. Each year, institutions, organisations and individuals contribute to our annual Open Access goal by 'subscribing' to individual journals or to the entire journal package. These S2O subscriptions allow us to waive author fees (APCs) in these journals.
To help us sustain this model and ensure that our journals can remain Open Access, individual authors can choose to support the model by contributing the cost of what would have been the journal’s APC towards an individual S2O subscription. For more information on this, contact subscriptions@iwap.co.uk
