Article Processing Charges (APCs)

In order to guarantee the quality of published scientific articles, we follow a policy of only accepting professional translations from accredited translators or translations from authors whose mother tongue is Spanish or English or who have a high level of proficiency in these languages.

Once an article has been approved for publication in the REP, in cases where a professional translation into English or Spanish is required, authors must pay for the translation under the following conditions:

  • If it is an article supported by a research grant, or similar, the invoice will be paid in full by the body supporting the research. The total cost will generally depend on the number of words translated. If this institution has an accredited professional translation service, translations carried out by the funding body will also be accepted.
  • In the case of an article without research or publication support, the author will pay the maximum amount of 400 euros (including 21% VAT), and the journal will be responsible for the rest of the quoted translation costs, which will depend on the number of words translated.

The costs of translating bibliographical reviews or other non-scientific content published in the journal in Spanish and English will be fully covered by the journal.
