Royalty Agreement

Ad Physicus is a first-of-its-kind journal that believes scientists should share in the value of their submitted work rather than be expected to give it away for free, or worse, be charged fees for it. Your work as a scientist has tremendous value. Partner with us to disseminate your work to the broader scientific community and we will share with you royalties generated by your submitted work.

Unlike other journals that charge scientists article processing or editing fees, we remain committed to providing an easy, fast, and free article submission process. We also remain committed to maintaining nominally low reader access fees (currently $2 USD) to promote broader reader interest and access to our published content. In accordance with the terms of the Publishing Royalty Agreement, currently for every $2 USD paid for access to your article, $1 USD is paid to the submitting author. The remaining $1.00 is used to pay transaction fees and journal maintenance costs. Scientists therefore earn the majority interest of money generated by paid reader access to their published work. Ad Physicus reserves the right to modify reader access fees over time.
