Open Access & Sponsorship

The ISPJ is open access. Authors do not need to pay an article processing (or publication) charge (APC). At the same time, readers do not need to pay to access published papers. Instead, we operate a sponsorship model: each issue of the journal is sponsored by an organisation, with the current level of sponsorship being HKD25,000 per issue (approximately GBP2500, USD3220, EUR3000). 

A sponsoring organisation, in addition to visibility on the current website and on the publication website, may elect to champion a special issue on a topic of their choice that lies within the scope of the journal. For more details about special issues, please contact the Editor in Chief.

We expect to publish approximately 12 full articles per issue. The fee will always use HKD as the base currency because the publisher is based in Hong Kong. 

Two organisations (Dept of Information Systems at the University of Agder, Norway and ERCIS - the European Research Center for Information Systems, at the University of Munster, Germany) have already agreed to sponsor one issue each. Sponsors will receive visibility on the publication website.

The ISPJ is published by the City University of Hong Kong Press and copyright transfer to the publisher will be arranged after acceptance of an article.
