Open access policy

Cognitive Science & Interactive Art Systems is an open-access journal, ensuring that all published articles are freely available to researchers, practitioners, and the public worldwide without any subscription or paywall barriers. By adopting an open-access model, the journal promotes global knowledge dissemination, interdisciplinary collaboration, and wider research impact.

To cover the costs associated with editorial processing, peer review, digital archiving, and publishing infrastructure, an Article Processing Charge (APC) of USD 400 applies to accepted papers.  Authors retain full copyright under a Creative Commons license (CC BY 4.0), allowing unrestricted sharing, reproduction, and citation, provided proper attribution is given to the original work.

The article processing charge (APC) is the only mandatory publication fee. No submission, colour-page or overlength fees are charged. APC reductions or waivers may be available for outstanding manuscripts. Authors may contact the editorial office to discuss eligibility and the applicable reduction or waiver. The standard APC applies unless a reduction or waiver has been confirmed.
