Article Processing Charge

All articles accepted and published in SEE are fully Open Access: immediately freely available to read, download and share. Article Publication Charges (APCs) are waived before December 2025. Appropriate consideration will be given for a waiver providing the paper has already met the scientific and editorial standards required for publication in SEE. For authors publishing in SEE, Scilight offers waivers and discounts to corresponding authors based in low- and lower middle-income countries and locations classified by the World Bank.

In order to apply for an APC waiver on these grounds, please contact the journal editorial office at the point of submission. Requests will not be considered until a manuscript has been submitted, and will be awarded at the discretion of the editor. Contact details for the journal editorial office may be found on the journal website.
