Article processing charges (APCs)
This journal is a wholly open access journal, which means all articles are published Gold Open Access under a Creative Commons licence. In many cases the costs of publishing Gold Open Access articles are covered by institutional open access agreements. If you are not covered by such an agreement, another option is for an article processing charge (APC) to be paid, typically by your funding body or institution. This journal also supports Gold Open Access through equity initiatives and APC waivers and discounts. Please see this journal's open access options for full details.
For cases where an APC is required, please see the table below for this journal’s APC rates (additional taxes may apply).

Transformative Agreements (TAs)
We’ve partnered with over 2,700 institutions across the globe to help you publish your research Gold Open Access (OA).
If your institution has an open access publishing agreement (also known as transformative agreements), you may publish your article gold OA at no cost to you, or with a discount for your article processing charge (APC). You can also enjoy access to journals content from Cambridge University Press. Notably, the corresponding author's institution determines eligibility for a transformative agreement.

Nutrition Society members
NS members (who are acting as the corresponding author on a paper) are entitled to a 25% discount on their article processing charge. NS members wanting to take up this option will be able to do so during the article submission process.
Discretionary waiver policy
If the corresponding author is from a country on the Research4Life eligibility list, they will receive an automatic full waiver (Group A countries) or 50% discount (Group B countries) of the article processing charge.
The article processing charge will also be waived in rare cases when authors and their institutes can clearly demonstrate inability to pay. To ensure availability of funding has no bearing on editorial decisions, the Editors are never involved in correspondence with authors on payment of publication charges. The author(s) must request a waiver at or before submission, before an article enters editorial consideration by filling out this form.
