PUBLICATION RATE

Our journal has consciously chosen not to seek public funding or display advertisements on its websites. This decision is fundamental to preserving our autonomy and ensuring complete editorial independence. To cover the expenses inherent to publications, we have adopted a funding model in which the authors themselves contribute through the payment of a publication fee.

It is important to emphasize that the idea of free publication is a misconception: there are always costs involved, which are ultimately borne by someone – either by the authors or by taxpayers in the case of public funding.

The publication fee is calculated based on several factors, including fixed monthly costs, variable expenses, and necessary investments. The main expenses include Amazon server hosting, hiring qualified professionals (journalists, lawyers, librarians, IT specialists, Data Protection Officer – DPO, accountant, among others), DOI registration (in US dollars), communication services (internet and telephone), text editing and layout, marketing, software subscriptions, equipment acquisition (such as notebooks), as well as federal and municipal taxes, and registrations in platforms and indexing directories.

RECIMA21 clarifies that there is no fee for the initial submission of articles. However, after approval, a publication fee of R$ 450.00 (four hundred and fifty reais) for authors from Brazil and US$ 200.00 (two hundred dollars) for international authors applies. Please note that post-publication corrections require an additional fee of R$ 200.00 (two hundred reais).

Refund policy
