Journal Article Processing Charges (APCs)
Why Do We Charge Fees to Maintain Open Access?
Open access publishing ensures that high-quality research is freely and universally accessible, promoting the sharing of knowledge across the global academic community. However, sustaining an open access journal requires significant operational investments. The fees charged to authors enable us to maintain accessibility for readers worldwide while adhering to the highest academic and ethical publishing standards.
Editorial Process and Peer Review
The fees support a rigorous peer-review system that ensures all published articles meet high academic and ethical benchmarks. This includes managing interactions among reviewers, editorial board members, and authors throughout the entire editorial process.
Technical Infrastructure
Operating an open access journal necessitates robust technical systems for manuscript submission, peer review, content hosting, and digital preservation. Continuous updates and security measures are implemented to guarantee seamless access for readers and contributors alike.
Typesetting and Formatting
To enhance readability and ensure compatibility across devices, articles are professionally typeset and formatted. This process contributes to an optimal user experience and maintains the visual consistency of the journal.
Proofreading and Quality Assurance
Language editing, proofreading, and quality assurance processes ensure that articles are polished, error-free, and compliant with international publishing standards.
Indexing and Archiving
To maximize the visibility and discoverability of published articles, we invest in indexing with leading academic databases. Long-term preservation is also ensured through trusted archiving repositories, safeguarding the accessibility of research for future generations.
Plagiarism and AI Screening
We are committed to maintaining academic integrity. The fees help cover the cost of advanced plagiarism and AI content detection tools, ensuring that all published articles are original, ethically sound, and free of misconduct.
Global Accessibility
By removing paywalls, open access publishing allows researchers, practitioners, and the general public to access scholarly content without barriers. The fees subsidize this inclusive model, benefiting authors and readers, particularly those who lack institutional support or resources.
Supporting the Open Access Ecosystem
By contributing to these fees, authors play a pivotal role in sustaining an open access framework that benefits the entire research community. This modest investment ensures that groundbreaking research remains freely accessible and impactful for a global audience.
