Article Processing Charges

Waivers and Discounts
The journal provides APC discounts to support authors from developing countries who may have limited access to research funding. A 25% discount on the Article Processing Charge (APC) may be granted upon request. Applications for APC discounts must be submitted at the time of manuscript submission. The provision of APC discounts does not influence the editorial assessment, peer review process, or publication decision, all of which are determined solely based on the scientific quality, originality, and academic merit of the submitted manuscript.
APC invoices are issued only after final acceptance. Payments are non-refundable once article production has begun.
