Scholardemia is funded by the organisations that run their research operations here: labs, journals, and institutions. That model is what lets us keep a firm promise to authors and readers.
The journal APC rule
Scholardemia journals do not charge article processing charges (APCs). This does not make a broader claim about submission, page, reader, or unrelated platform charges.
An APC request conflicts with Scholardemia journal policy. Report it to support@scholardemia.com immediately.
How organisational subscriptions work
Workspace and platform subscriptions are separate from the journal APC policy:
- Workspace subscriptions: research groups, journals, conferences, and organisations subscribe for their workspace, public site, journal and conference infrastructure, custom domain, and support for identifiers and indexing, with unlimited operators and no per-conference or per-submission charges.
- Institutional deployments: an institution’s own Scholardemia instance, in its name and on its own server, which can bridge with the wider network or keep its users gated.
- Individual accounts are free: every scholar gets the full personal toolkit at no charge. There is no paid individual tier.
