Article Processing Charges & Waivers

The Journal of AI-Driven Drug Discovery is fully open access. All published articles are immediately and permanently free to read, download, and reuse under CC BY 4.0.

Article Processing Charge (APC)

CHF 2,000 per accepted article (inclusive of VAT where applicable). The APC covers peer review coordination, professional copyediting, XML and PDF production, DOI registration via Crossref, indexing submissions, and permanent archiving.

There are no submission fees, revision fees, colour figure fees, or page charges. The APC is only invoiced upon acceptance — you pay nothing if your paper is not accepted.

Waiver Policy

Authors from low- and lower-middle-income countries (World Bank) are eligible for a full APC waiver; partial waivers on request. Waiver requests are assessed independently of editorial decisions. To apply, contact contact@vallensis.org at submission.

Article processing charges for contributions outside the founding phase will be published transparently before they apply.
