Forms of Publication

The Journal of Industrial Ecology (JIE) is a hybrid journal. This means that articles can be published at no cost to the author under the subscription model in which the full article is available for reading only to those who have a subscription or license to the JIE. Articles can also be published open access in which an author, an author's institution, or a funder pay an article processing charge (APC). Reading open access articles is free to everyone. The APC for 2026 is £2790.00 GBP / $3890.00 USD / €3290.00 EUR. 

Note that authors publishing in the JIE may also be eligible for funding of open access fees through arrangements between Springer Nature (the JIE’s publisher) and various national or regional institutions. To see if your country or region or institution has such an arrangement, visit https://link.springer.com/journal/44498/funding-eligibility.
