A book or chapter processing charge (BPC/CPC) covers all the costs of commissioning, copyediting and proofreading, production, dissemination and promotion of our authors’ work, including online hosting and indexing.
Please see the table below for an overview of our starting BPC/CPC rates for open access books and chapters. These apply to books published by our Springer, Palgrave Macmillan and Apress imprints. If you would like to receive a BPC/CPC quote for your book project, or you need support with funding your BPC, please get in touch with a commissioning editor (Springer, Palgrave Macmillan, Apress). If you are interested in OA for a book type not included below, please discuss this with a commissioning editor.
