Article Processing Charges
Article Processing Charge (APC):

Payment of the APC fee (directly to the publisher) by the author or a funding body is not required until AFTER the manuscript has gone through the full double-anonymized peer review process and the Editor(s)-in-Chief at his/her/their full discretion has/have decided to accept the manuscript based on the results of the double-anonymized peer review process. 

What Does IGI Global's Open Access APC Cover?

In the traditional subscription-based model, the cost to the publisher to produce each article is covered by the revenue generated by journal subscriptions. Under OA, all the articles are published under a Creative Commons (CC BY) license; therefore, the authors or funding body will pay a one-time article processing charge (APC) to offset the costs of all of the activities associated with the publication of the article manuscript, including:

  • Digital tools used to support the manuscript management and review process
  • Typesetting, formatting and layout
  • Online hosting
  • Submission of the journal's content to numerous abstracts, directories, and indexes
  • Third-party software (e.g. plagiarism checks)
  • Editorial support which includes manuscript tracking, communications, submission guideline checks, and communications with authors and reviewers
  • All promotional support and activities which include metadata distribution, press releases, promotional communications, web content, ads, fliers, brochures, postcards, etc. for the journal and its published contents
  • The fact that all published articles will be freely accessible and able to be posted and disseminated widely by
    the authors
  • Professional line-by-line English language copy editing and proofreading*

*This service is only performed on article manuscripts with fully paid (not discounted or waived) APC fees.

Reviews & Statements

This journal fills a gap in the scholarly/scientific publications as it builds a bridge between different perspectives of the same problems, which will help to arise new ways of dealing with the challenges that will face us in this new century.

– Anabel Sarmento, Instituto Politécnico do Porto, Portugal

As the use of information and communications technologies (ICTs) becomes ubiquitous in daily life, increased usage of technology alters how people initiate and engage in social experiences. The International Journal of Technologies and Human Interaction is the only international journal focusing on the complexities of human and technology interaction, including several high-level, well reviewed papers by experts on the field.

– Anita Greenhill, The University of Manchester, UK

The cross-disciplinary field of technology and human interaction is a key research area to understand the profound changes that are taking place in a global information infrastructure. IJTHI has quickly established itself as a leading journal in this area, with original and well written articles.

– Bendik Bygstad, Norwegian School of Information Technology, Norway

The study of human interaction with regard to the use of information technologies is an evolving subject area. The International Journal of Technology and Human Interaction mainly embarks from the interdisciplinary perspective of the needs and characteristics of individuals, groups, and virtual organizations and explores how these are met via the development of innovative interactive computer-based systems. However, one of the most important contributions that IJTHI brings into the evolving field is the appreciation of the value of transdisciplinarity, offering a far more integrated approach of what is required by interested academics, researchers, and practitioners.
