IJSS Announces Article Processing Charge

Since its inception, the International Journal of Spine Surgery (IJSS) has been dedicated to providing high-quality, timely, innovative spine surgery research from around the globe in an open access forum. We remain committed to this publishing model, as we believe it increases the accessibility of articles and promotes learning and further innovations to improve patient outcomes.

Despite being open access, the IJSS has not charged authors for publication. We are very proud of our history in this regard, especially in light of the fact that many journals have open access publication fees upwards of $3,000. However, to optimize the economic foundation of the IJSS, the ISASS Board has approved a change to the IJSS model. Beginning October 15, 2021, any newly submitted manuscript that is accepted for publication will be subject to a publication fee, commonly referred to as an article processing charge (APC). Manuscripts submitted prior to this date but not accepted before October 15, 2022, will also be subject to an APC.

Members of ISASS will receive a reduced rate. Fees will be as follows:

  • ISASS Members: $500 per accepted manuscript
  • ISASS Nonmembers: $750 per accepted manuscript

Authors will be expected to pay the APC once the manuscript has been accepted. Solicited content and letters to the editor will be exempt from the APC.
