To cover the operational costs of publishing, the journal requires author(s) to pay an Article Processing Charge (APC) upon article acceptance. This fee is essential for ensuring broad access and the wide dissemination of your research to a global audience, allowing readers from diverse institutions and regions to benefit from your work without subscription barriers. The APC also supports the journal’s commitment to open access and maintaining high-quality publication standards.
The current APC is $380, applicable only if the article is accepted for publication. Upon acceptance, an invoice will be issued to the corresponding author, who will be responsible for ensuring timely payment. This payment is required to proceed with the publication process.
If you would like to request a fast-track review for your manuscript, please reach out to us at [email protected], including your manuscript’s submission ID. This option enables us to accelerate the review and publication process, typically around 2 weeks. The fee for a fast-track review is $200 per manuscript.
If your manuscript is accepted by the editorial board, it will be published in the current issue of the journal after any required revisions are made based on reviewer feedback.
Please be aware that all Article Processing Charges (APCs) and fees are non-refundable and may be subject to change.
