International Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences

Traditional journals are solely based on a reader-pays model, in which institutional libraries typically pay for the access to content. However, all journals published by Science Publishing Group (SciencePG) are full open access. The scientific community and general public can access all articles published in the journal for free.
This means that Science Publishing Group does not gain any income through selling subscriptions of the printed or online versions of the published articles. Therefore, by collecting Article Processing Charge from authors' institutes or research funding bodies, Science Publishing Group is able to cover the various publishing services:

●  Editorial work: peer review, administrative support, commissioning content, journal development.
●  Technical infrastructure and innovation: development, maintenance and operation of online journal system and websites.
●  Production of articles: formatting and mark-up of articles and inclusion in indexing services.
●  Marketing of journal and content: making sure readers and authors know about the work published in the title.
●  Customer service: responding to authors and readers.
