Publication Charges

Authors are encouraged to submit concise manuscripts that clearly communicate the significance and impact of their work.

Research Papers do not have a strict word limit but typically range between 8,000 and 10,000 words, and usually include 5–8 figures or tables.

Other content types, such as Letters and Technical Briefs, have shorter word limits, which are specified in the Instructions for Authors for each journal.

Publication Charges

There are no fees for submitting or publishing a standard research paper.

However, authors may opt for Open Access publication, which includes publication charges as outlined below:

Open Access Option

• Available only for papers published as part of the ASME Journal Program.
• After acceptance, authors can choose to pay an Article Publication Charge (APC) to make their paper immediately accessible to all readers, in compliance with funder mandates.
• Open Access articles are published under an ASME © license with a Creative Commons CC BY license for reuse.

Open Access Fees

• Hybrid journals:
  • $3,000 per article
• ASME Open Journal of Engineering:
  • ASME Members: $1,700
  • Non-members: $1,950

Note: Payment of the APC invoice is required before publication.
