Fair pricing, so knowledge stays open.

No author fees. No paywalls. The organizations that run publications pay for the platform, with regional pricing built in, and a free shared community to get started.

The people doing and using the research never pay Quorum Press.

  • Authors: no submission or publication fees (no APCs)

Talk to us
Start free, then pick your plan. Publish for free under the Quorum Press Community, or start your own organization and activate a plan within a few days to keep it. Paid plans include regional pricing, so the rate reflects where your organization is based.
Do authors or readers ever pay?

No. There are no article processing charges (APCs) and no paywalls. Published work is free to read, cite, and reuse. The organizations that run publications pay for the platform.

How does pricing work across regions?

Paid plans include regional pricing, so the rate reflects where your organization is based. You can also publish for free under the shared Quorum Press Community.

Can conferences run sessions online?

Yes. On a paid plan, conferences can run live online presentations with synced slides and audience Q&A, so people can take part in the room or from anywhere.

What if I create my own organization?

You can start one any time for free and use everything right away. To keep it, activate a plan within a few days; otherwise it is locked, and later its content is removed. Published papers are never deleted automatically. Prefer no commitment? Publish under the free Quorum Press Community instead, where unpublished drafts are kept for a year.

Are you a publisher?

No. Quorum Press is the platform and the guidance that lets you run rigorous peer review and open-access publishing under your own brand. The publication, its standards, and its reputation are yours.

What is 'guided' help?

Setting up review forms and tracks, training your editors and reviewers, and, if you want, having us help run the review process. We meet you wherever you are in the process.
