The North African Journal of Food and Nutrition Research (NAJFNR) is committed to open access (OA) publishing, making published manuscripts freely available to a global audience. This is funded through Article Processing Charges (APCs), typically paid by the author or their institution, which cover costs such as peer review, copy-editing, and archiving. NAJFNR does not charge submission fees. The APC is USD 150 (excluding VAT), with a USD 50 surcharge for "fast publication." APCs are payable after acceptance but are non-refundable. This policy aims to ensure transparency and accessibility in NAJFNR's publishing practices.
