Institutional Membership
The Cogitatio Press Institutional Membership program is an affordable option that allows authors to freely publish in our highly ranked open access journals.
The institution pays an annual flat rate that covers the article processing charges (APCs) of articles whose corresponding authors belong to the member institution. To benefit from the membership, corresponding authors must state their affiliation clearly upon their abstract and article submissions, using the online submission platform. Corresponding authors who fail to do so may incur a regular APC payment.
The membership covers all journals issued by Cogitatio Press:
As part of our ongoing commitment to equity and fairness in the publishing landscape, we developed our subscription rates to better reflect the financial capacity of each member institution. This is calculated through the member institution’s Country Human Development Index (HDI) and FTE (number of staff + students).
Institution FTE (staff + students) | Country’s Human Development Index | |
---|---|---|
Below .89 | Over .90 | |
Up to 5,000 | 1200 € | 1500 € |
5,001–10,000 | 1400 € | 1700 € |
Over 10,000 | 1600 € | 1900 € |
This annual fee thus represents a very affordable option for institutions that want to offset the financial woes of their affiliated authors, enabling them to publish unlimited articles in open access. For reference, the highest membership fee always costs less than the lowest APCs for publishing two articles, ensuring you already start saving from your second publication onwards.
Joining Cogitatio Press’ Institutional Membership thus represents:
- Reducing overall publication costs
- Minimal bureaucracy (costs are covered without extra paperwork from your side)
- Supporting independent open-access publishing
- Empowering researchers to publish their work without financial barriers
- Increasing the visibility and impact of your research through our communication channels and events
