What are book processing charges (BPCs)?

Book processing charges (BPCs) are charges paid by the author to the publisher in return for the openly accessible publication of a scientific book. BPCs are mostly covered by the author’s institution or another funder.

By awarding a BPC, the SNSF pays for publishing services with regard to the quality control, production and distribution of monographs and anthologies. The amounts of the different BPC modules are specified in Article 11 of the Regulations on the funding of Open Access publications.
