Article Processing Charges

Authors submitting manuscripts to Lex Localis – Journal of Local Self-Government are required to pay an Open Access Article Processing Charge (APC) of 800 USD.

This fee is applicable only upon acceptance of the manuscript. The APC supports the journal’s open-access infrastructure, covers the costs of rigorous peer review, editorial processing, typesetting, online hosting, indexing, archiving, and long-term digital preservation. It also ensures that all published articles remain freely and permanently accessible to readers worldwide without subscription barriers.

Once the APC is paid, the article will enter the production process, which includes copyediting, layout formatting, proofing, and final online publication.
