Article Processing Charge
This journal is a fully Open Access journal. We guarantee that no university library or individual reader will ever have to purchase a subscription or pay any pay-per-view fees to access our published articles.
To cover the cost of publication and to maintain open access, the journal relies on an Article Processing Charge (APC). This fee is applied only after a manuscript has been editorially accepted for publication. During the submission and peer-review process, no charges are applied.
The publication categories are as follows:
1. Regular Publication – applied to manuscripts published in the regular issues of the journal.
2. Conference Track Publication – applied to manuscripts included in conference special issues, reflecting the additional coordination and administrative processes involved.
Detailed information regarding the APC amount, payment method, and manuscript acceptance status will be communicated directly to the corresponding author after editorial acceptance. Payment is expected within a specified timeframe to ensure timely publication. Please note that APC payments are nonrefundable.
For printed copies, authors may order an optional paid version, which will be shipped upon receipt of payment confirmation.
For enquiries related to conference special issues, please contact the editorial team via the contact page.
