Article processing and publication charge

Natpro Journal publishes two types of journals. One can be freely accessed by readers through the open access  system, whereas the other can only be accessed through the subscription. ASNP has designed the system to strengthen the society and accommodate more scientists/members.

The author has choice to choose which type of publication suits his/her needs best.  Open access track will ask the author to pay APC when the manuscript is accepted. For subscription track,  there are two options; no APC and APC. For no APC  publication, author pay none but exclusive copyright is transferred to ASNP. For subscription track, if the author pays the APC, 50% of royalties will be shared with the author or the other copyright shareholder when the subscription occurs from the paper.
