No Submission Charges
There are no article submission charges, no charges for rejected articles, and no charges based on the length of an article, figures or supplementary data etc.
Article Processing Charges
In an open access model, the publication charges of an article are paid by the author or from the author's research grant, or by their sponsoring institution, in the form of Article Processing Charges (APCs). These Article Processing Charges replace subscription charges and allow publishers to make barrier-free access to the full-text of all published articles worldwide immediately upon publication.
Besides, authors who publish in our open access journals retain the copyright of their work, which is released under a “Creative Commons Attribution License,” enabling the unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction of an article in any medium provided the original work is properly cited.
The submitted manuscript passes through the many stages listed below. These tasks involve certain costs which are compensated to some extent by the article publishing charges, paid by the authors. The teams involved in the publication involve the following:
The Screening Team
The screening team performs initial technical checks of the manuscript.
The Editorial Team
The Editorial team helps the journal's Academic Editors manage the review process.
The Language Team
The language team helps to edit the paper based on (1) readability and clarity, of the content (2) compliance/consistency in using words/terms and punctuation; (3) correct the grammar. (4) Clarity of language style.
The Production Team
The production team converts the manuscript to a professionally typeset article and well-structured XML.
The Proofing Team

The editorial quality assurance team performs a final check before going online.
The DOI Team
The DOI team follows up with CrossRef to assign the DOI number to each article.
The Technology Team
The technology team builds and maintains the servers, database, and Journal’s webpage.
The APC is payable only when the manuscript is editorially accepted. Upon editorial acceptance of an article, the corresponding author will be notified about the publication fee.
The Corresponding author needs to arrange payment unless a waiver has been granted. We advise prompt payment of publication fee, as we are unable to publish accepted articles until payment has been received.
