Did you know that there are almost 200 open access article processing charge (APC) funds available to researchers worldwide? Many leading institutes and funding bodies require that research publications resulting from their grants are made freely available to all. By publishing your research on Language Testing in Asia you fully comply with open access mandates, and the publishing costs may be entirely covered by the research grant.
