Open Access

Open Access— free for readers, free for authors. Currently, the journal does not charge any article processing charges (APC).

All articles published in International Journal of Thermofluid Science and Technology (ISSN 2706-9885) are published in full open access. In order to provide free access to readers and to cover the costs of peer review, copyediting, typesetting, long-term archiving, and journal management, MDPI usually makes use of article processing charges (APCs). However, at present, International Journal of Thermofluid Science and Technology does not charge any APCs, meaning there are no article processing charges to authors or their institutions.
