Free to submit.
Charged on acceptance.
The Journal of Convex Analysis is an open-access journal published through the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform. Submitting a manuscript costs nothing. An article processing charge applies only once a manuscript has been accepted through peer review, and it funds the editorial standards, typesetting, registration and archiving that keep the published article available and citable.
What the charge covers
Where the money goes.
Four things, each of which costs the publisher something and each of which the author would otherwise have to arrange alone.
Peer review management
Full workflow support through the OJS portal, including double-blind peer review managed by specialists in convex analysis and applied mathematics.
Editorial and layout services
Professional LaTeX editing, typographical layout, and the setting of mathematical formulas and figures.
Indexing and accessibility
A registered Crossref DOI, perpetual digital archiving, and immediate worldwide open access under a Creative Commons CC BY 4.0 licence.
Waivers and discounts
Nobody is turned away for being unable to pay.
We are committed to equity in research publishing. Corresponding authors from low-income countries, as classified by the World Bank, and authors experiencing financial hardship may apply for a partial or full waiver of the charge.
Requests should be submitted through the OJS platform at the point of initial submission rather than after acceptance, so that they are settled before any editorial decision is taken. Waiver decisions are made separately from the peer-review process and have no bearing on it.
