History of Geo- and Space Sciences (HGSS) charges no article processing charges or in fact any other fee to authors and readers. This mode of publication is commonly referred to as Diamond Open Access.

Maintaining a publishing infrastructure is not without cost. Copernicus Publications puts the same level of care, dedication, and sophistication into articles published in HGSS as in any other journal we host. Respective costs for typesetting, dissemination, archiving, and outreach are covered by Copernicus Publications.
