Publication charges at AmNat can include the following: page charges, color printing charges, and gold Open Access charges.
⇒ Note: An author with an outstanding debt from a previous paper cannot publish another until the original debt is settled.
1. Page Charges
All accepted articles incur a fee of $90 per typeset page, to be invoiced after publication. (If necessary, authors can request to be invoiced after acceptance but prior to publication.)
ASN Grant for Page Charges: The American Society of Naturalists will cover page charges (1) if none of the authors have funding for page charges, (2) if one of the authors is a member of the ASN, and (3) if the ASN member has not had a grant-in-need in the previous 12 months. Grants-in-need are a benefit of membership in the ASN. Grants do not cover color printing or gold open access charges (however, color can be typeset at no cost in online-only versions, and green open access is available for all articles for free).
Appendices and Supplements: If an appendix is printed, it incurs regular page charges.
There is no charge for author-supplied supplemental PDFs and video files.
2. Printed Color Art
$100 per figure
⇒ Note: There are no fees for color art typeset in the HTML or PDF version. The fee only applies to color art that appears in print.
Gold open access: The gold OA option is provided primarily for authors with research funding from an organization that mandates gold OA as a condition of publication and does not permit green OA as a route to compliance. The fee for Gold Open Access is as follows:

期刊简介：The American Naturalist《美国博物学家》（月刊）. The American Naturalist is a monthly journal devoted to furthering the objectives of the American Society of Naturalists (ASN): to advance our understanding of evolution, ecology, behavior, and other broad biological disciplines toward the conceptual unification of the biological sciences. Thus, the journal welcomes manuscripts that develop new conceptual syntheses, pose new and significant problems, introduce novel subjects to the readership, or change the way people think about a topic. Manuscripts are evaluated for their interest to the broad international readership of researchers in organismal biology.
