Dear valued authors, researchers, and readers,

Since its establishment in 2022, the Materials Science in Additive Manufacturing (MSAM) journal has been dedicated to providing a high-quality platform for researchers in the additive manufacturing (AM) field. Our goal has always been to deliver excellent publishing services, promote cutting-edge research, and contribute to the advancement of AM.

Over the years, we have worked hard to keep the Article Processing Charges (APC) stable at USD 800. However, despite our best efforts to manage rising operational costs, including enhanced editorial services, technological upgrades, and the expansion of our content offerings, the costs of maintaining these standards have already outpaced the current APC.

To ensure the continued quality and sustainability of the journal, we have made the difficult decision to adjust the APC to USD 1950. This adjustment will take effect in June 2025. We understand that such a change may have implications for your future submissions, and we want to give you ample time to plan accordingly. All submissions received before this date will still be eligible for the current APC of USD 800.

We sincerely appreciate your ongoing support and understanding as we strive to enhance our services and foster the AM research community. We are committed to delivering high-quality publishing services and ensuring that MSAM remains a high-quality journal in the field of additive manufacturing.

Thank you for being a part of MSAM.

Best regards,
MSAM Editorial Office
