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 $280, 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. Please note that the APC will increase to $380 for any manuscript submitted after November 30, 2024.
