Former Directors have been: Nora Federici (1965-1992), Antonio Golini (1993-2008), Graziella Caselli (2009-2010), and Viviana Egidi (2011-2018). GENUS is affiliated with Sapienza University of Rome and published under the auspices of the Italian Association for Population Studies (AISP).

Understand the costs and funding options - Fees and funding

GENUS is a 100% Gold Open Access journal. APCs are charged on article acceptance. For further details, see our article-processing charge webpage.

Publishing is not without costs; however, authors do not typically pay the fee themselves, and the way your APC is covered has no bearing on the editorial outcome of your submission.

Did you know that there are almost 200 open access article processing charge (APC) funds available to researchers worldwide? Many funding bodies require that research publications resulting from their grants are made freely available to all. By publishing your research with us you fully comply with open access mandates, and the publishing costs may be entirely covered by the research grant. This means that you won’t have to pay any publishing fee and you retain the copyright. Check here how to discover more..

You may also be eligible for a waiver/discount, based on unavailability of research funding and/or country of origin. Click here to discover more.

Are you still unable to find coverage for your article? SpringerOpen offers a free funding and support service to help authors discover and apply for article processing charge funding. Visit the OA funding and policy support page to learn more about our email support service.
 

Sponsorship

From 2019 to 2024, Sapienza University is fully sponsoring a number of articles. In 2023, AISP is also contributing to the journal sponsorship plan. Authors with no Open Access funding can request the sponsorship by contacting Daniele Vignoli before submitting the manuscript.
