ASA, CSSA, and SSSA Gold Open Access Journal Author Page Charges Discontinued

The American Society of Agronomy (ASA), Crop Science Society of America (CSSA), and Soil Science Society of America (SSSA) have been committed to high quality publishing, peer review, and ethics for many years. Like many nonprofit society publications, our journals developed varying revenue streams to support the mission programs to lead and disseminate research in the agronomic, crop and soil sciences. As 2022 closes, ASA, CSSA, and SSSA are eliminating excess author page fees for gold open access journals, including Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment, The Plant Genome, The Plant Phenome Journal and Vadose Zone Journal, effective with manuscripts accepted and published after 31 December 2022. This new policy supports our goal to reduce economic burden on authors and simplify processes while continuing to provide gold open access publishing options for researchers worldwide. The Editors, editorial boards, and publications staff thank authors continuing to publish in ASA, CSSA, and SSSA journals and invite new authors to consider how our journals can meet your publishing needs.
