Article Processing Charges (APC)

Article Processing Charges (APC) are a source of income for the journal, which helps to cover some of the costs associated with publishing. The journal is completely open access, does not impose subscription or access fees, and authors maintain all copyrights. We request that authors cover some of the expenses related to processing and disseminating their Open Access work. The author's contribution will assist the journal in covering the following expenses:

  • A plagiarism check verifies the uniqueness of your work.
    Comprehensive editorial feedback and peer assessment from reputable authorities in your area.
  • Our Editorial Analysts will thoroughly proofread and copyedit your piece to ensure it meets publishing standards.
  • Typesetting and formatting for your work in PDF and HTML formats, and print editions upon request.
  • For correct citation, use DOI, CrossMark, ORCID, and so on.
    Permanent online hosting for your articles and unfettered worldwide access to your work.
  • Indexing in all relevant reference services and allied databases.


There would be no fees associated with rejected articles, submission fees, or surcharges for longer articles, figures, or additional data. Editorials, corrections, addenda, retractions, comments, and so forth are all published without charge. Contributions from authors towards processing fees are not evaluated at the outset of the process; they become applicable only once your paper is accepted in its entirety. The majority of academics depend on financial support from their universities or other organizations to pay for open access publications. Waivers of publishing fees may be available to independent scholars or writers residing in economically disadvantaged areas; eligibility will be assessed on an individual basis.

NOTE: As of December 2025, the APC will not exist.
