Article Processing Charge (APC)
The journal does not charge any submission fee. Authors can submit their manuscripts free of charge, and no fee is required during the initial submission or peer-review process.
A publication fee (Article Processing Charge/APC) of USD 12 per accepted article is charged only after the manuscript has successfully passed the peer-review and editorial process and has been accepted for publication.
To support student authors, a 30% discount is available for verified students. With this discount, the APC is reduced to USD 4.20 per article.
The journal may provide a 100% publication fee waiver (full waiver) for selected articles that address specific priority topics determined by the journal and are highly relevant to its Special Topics. Articles eligible for the full waiver must demonstrate strong academic or practical value and successfully pass a strict selection process conducted by the Editorial Team. The decision to grant a full waiver is made on a case-by-case basis, considering the manuscript's relevance, quality, originality, and potential contribution to the journal.

- Peer Review Fee: Free
- Publication Fee (APC): USD 10 per accepted article
