Immediate Open Access:

Price: 950.00 (USD)

Optional Payment

The journal is available for subscribrs, but authors can make their articles available in Open Access and influence the distribution of published work to the global professional community (more information about Open Access can be found in the WIKI).

An open access publication charge (OAPC) is a fee charged to authors to make their work available as open access (OA). This fee may be paid by the author, the author’s institution, or their research funder. The journal charges an APC to cover the costs involved in the publication process, from administrating peer-review to copy editing and hosting the final article on dedicated servers. 

Articles published in OA will be distributed under the terms of the CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license, without an embargo period or any other restrictions.

More information about the Optional Open Access service is available here.


Waiver policy

An author's team can apply to the Editor-in-Chief for the APC cancellation or for a discount. We don't want the need for payment to become a barrier to publishing high-quality work in our journal.

To receive a discount, a member of the author team should submit a written collective request to the publisher for a discount on the APC, along with a justification for their request.

The decision on whether to grant a discount and its amount is made jointly by the editor-in-chief and the publisher's management based on the author's request. If the discount is approved, authors will be informed of the final cost and further payment instructions.

Discounts are available for all paid publishing services (open access publication, Fast-Track protocol, APC) as part of the Peer-Reviewer Rewards Program.
