Article Processing Charges (APC)

To support editorial management, peer review, production, online hosting, DOI assignment, indexing, and long-term archiving, an Article Processing Charge (APC) may be applicable to manuscripts accepted for publication.

The APC is charged only after a manuscript has been accepted following successful peer review. No submission fees are required during the initial review stage.

Transparency of Charges

Any applicable APC amount and payment instructions will be clearly communicated to the corresponding author upon acceptance of the manuscript. The journal ensures full transparency in all publication-related fees.

Waivers and Discounts

In special cases, APC waivers or discounts may be considered for authors facing financial constraints or belonging to eligible institutions or regions. All waiver requests are evaluated individually by the editorial office.

Editorial Independence

Payment of APC does not influence editorial decisions. All manuscripts are evaluated solely on the basis of scientific quality, originality, relevance, and ethical compliance.
