  • Smart Agriculture Charge and Remuneration Policy

    The Charge and Remuneration Policy of Smart Agriculture shall be implemented in accordance with the following standards.

    Author-side Fees

    (1) The article processing charge

    Smart Agriculture will levy RMB 500 (USD 90) /page, up to RMB 10000  (USD 1800) .

    (b)Reduction of charge

    APC will be charged upon acceptance. However, the ability of authors to pay APC will never be a consideration in the decision whether to publish. Smart Agriculture routinely reduces or waives charges for authors from low-income countries (https://unctad.org/topic/least-developed-countries/list). This policy is supported by our sponsor. Individual waiver requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis and may be granted in cases of lack of funds. Authors should submit a waiver or discount request during the submission of their article. Please request your waiver or discount at the point of submission.
