"Our Geographical Pricing model reflects our commitment to help advance science and healthcare to advance human progress by promoting inclusion in research. By aligning our publishing charges with authors' economic contexts, we aim to reduce barriers so researchers globally can share knowledge and accelerate innovation to the benefit of all."
