WAIVERS

We offer a complete or partial fee waiver on a case-by-case basis for individual authors or author groups affiliated with a university or institute in Low-income or Lower-middle-income economies as defined by the World Bank. Please check the list here. If the author group includes researchers from universities or institutes in high-income economies, the publication fee will likely not be waived.

Authors without an affiliation to a research institution or university or to a research project with publication funding are also eligible to apply for a complete or partial fee waiver.

Please mail your request for a waiver of the publication fee to noasp@cappelendamm.no before submitting your manuscript. Requests for waivers for manuscripts that are already under peer review or have been typeset will not be granted. The corresponding author must send the following information in the letter of request, together with any supporting documents:
