Article processing charges (APC)
We are committed to transparent, upfront information about any fees associated with publishing. There are no article processing charges (APCs) for manuscripts accepted in journals on this platform at present.
Current charges
- No APC — you are not charged a fee for publication if your manuscript is accepted.
- No submission fee — submitting a manuscript does not incur a charge.
- No hidden charges — we do not bill for colour figures, page length, or supplementary files as a condition of publication under the current policy.
If our fee policy changes in the future, it will be updated on this page and in the relevant journal information before it applies to new submissions, so authors can make an informed choice.
Other costs unrelated to this journal (for example, institutional open-access agreements, third-party language editing, or printing if you choose optional print services) are outside the journal's APC policy.
