OA allows readers to access, read, download, and reuse the content without financial or legal barriers, increasing the visibility and impact of research.

3. Article Processing Charges (APCs)

For Gold Open Access publications, authors may be required to pay an Article Processing Charge (APC). The APC covers the costs associated with the production, peer review, and open-access publication of the article. APCs vary depending on the journal and the article type, and authors will be informed of the charges during the submission process.

We offer discounts or waivers of the APC for authors from low-income countries or in cases of financial hardship. Authors should inquire about such options at the time of submission.
