Page Charges

Mandatory Overlength Page Charge:

To offset the cost of publishing the Transactions, for all papers submitted in 2020 or later, the Board of Governors of the Vehicular Technology Society implements a mandatory page charge of US$220.00 for each Transactions page exceeding ten printed pages for regular papers and US$220.00 for each Transactions page exceeding five printed pages for correspondence papers. For papers submitted before 2020, the mandatory page charge is US$220.00 for each Transactions page exceeding eight printed pages for regular papers and US$220.00 for each Transactions page exceeding five printed pages for correspondence papers.

 

Voluntary Page Charge:

After a manuscript has been accepted for publication, the author's company or institution will be requested to pay a charge of US$110 per printed page to cover part of the cost of publication. This voluntary page charge is not obligatory nor is its payment a prerequisite for publication; however, the author(s) should strongly encourage his or her employer, or institution, to honor this payment in order to offset some of the expenses incurred in publication. The cost of publishing and giving the author's work a distribution comparable to that of this Transactions would be far more costly to the employer, or author, than the page charge requested. Self-employed authors should also seriously consider honoring the page charge; without this means of disseminating their work, they may find it very costly and much more difficult to achieve recognition through publication. Detailed instruction will accompany the page proofs.
