Charges
Page Charges
There is a charge of $50 per page (or fraction of a page) for papers published in Molecular Biology and Evolution. Authors who pay to have their papers made Open Access with the appropriate license will not be charged page and color print charges.
Articles may be held back from publication until page charges are paid in full. To avoid publication delay, arrange payment as soon as you receive an invoice. Payment can be made by check or credit card, but Oxford University Press regrets that it is unable to accept purchase orders.
Authors can ask the Editor to waive charges at the time a manuscript is accepted for publication if NONE of the authors has ANY funds (grant, research allocation, departmental, or otherwise) to pay them. Late requests will not be considered. In any case, page charges will only be waived for the first ten pages. Waiving page charges shifts the cost of publication to other authors. For this reason charges are seldom waived.
Color Figure Charges
Color figures that appear in print will incur a charge of $300/€240/£160 per figure, except, as indicated above, in the case of Open Access license. Charges for print color figures cannot be waived, nor will page charges be waived for manuscripts that include color figures.
