Article processing charges (APCs)
This journal is a wholly open access journal, which means all articles are published as Gold Open Access under a Creative Commons licence. In many cases Gold Open Access articles are supported by an article processing charge (APC), typically paid by the corresponding author’s funding body or institution. However multiple other routes to funding Gold OA, including institutional agreements and APC waivers and discounts, are available to authors. Please see this journal's open access options for full details.
Please see the table below for this journal’s APC fees.

Waiver policies
Cambridge University Press operates several waiver policies, as described below. It should be noted that the decision whether to accept a paper for publication will rest solely with the Editor, and without reference to the funding situation of the authors. The Editor, editorial board members, and reviewers will have no involvement with the billing of APCs and cannot grant waivers.
Developing country waiver policy
Cambridge University Press operates waiver policies in line with other leading publishers. We grant 100% waivers to papers whose corresponding authors are based in Research4Life 'Group A' countries and 50% waivers to those who are based in 'Group B' countries.
Discretionary waiver policy
The author(s) must request a waiver at or before submission, before an article enters editorial consideration by filling out this form.
