Open Access Fee
Public Health Action (PHA) is an Open Access online journal. The Journal is committed to a policy of Open Access to bring new knowledge to those directly engaged in providing health services to vulnerable individuals and those who live in resource-limited settings. To achieve this sustainably, the Journal must derive its means from those who provide this new knowledge.
As an Open Access, online journal, all articles accepted for publication (Correspondence excepted) incur a publication fee of €2200 to cover the cost of reviewing, editing, typesetting and publishing each article. For cost reasons, waivers cannot be granted.
