The current APC, subject to VAT or local taxes where applicable, is: £1890.00/$2590.00/€2190.00

Open access funding

Visit Springer Nature’s open access funding & support services for information about research funders and institutions that provide funding for APCs.

Springer Nature offers agreements that enable institutions to cover open access publishing costs. Learn more about our open access agreements to check your eligibility and discover whether this journal is included.

Springer Nature offers APC waivers and discounts for articles published in our fully open access journals whose corresponding authors are based in the world’s lowest income countries (see our APC waivers and discounts policy for further information). Requests for APC waivers and discounts from other authors will be considered on a case-by-case basis, and may be granted in cases of financial need (see our open access policies for journals for more information). All applications for discretionary APC waivers and discounts should be made at the point of manuscript submission; requests made during the review process or after acceptance are unable to be considered.

As a way to say thank you to the dedicated researchers who tirelessly work to advance the science and ultimately to improve the lives of the cancer genetics community, the journal is pleased to offer a 50% waiver on the article processing charges for select manuscripts published in Hereditary Cancer in Clinical Practice.

Before submitting your manuscript, and to receive editorial approval for the discount, please email the abstract of your manuscript to the Publishing Editor.
