What Are APCs?

Article Processing Charges (APCs) are fees charged to authors to cover the cost of publishing their work in an open-access journal. These charges support services including editorial review, typesetting, online hosting, indexing, and long-term archiving.

Standard APC Rate

The standard APC for this journal is USD 60 (Tk. 5000 for Bangladeshi authors) per accepted article. This charge is applied only after the article has successfully passed peer review and is accepted for publication.

What Do APCs Cover?

• Editorial workflow and peer review management
• Professional formatting and typesetting
• Online hosting and permanent archiving
• Indexing and DOI registration
• Marketing and global distribution

Waivers & Discounts

We are committed to supporting authors from low-income countries or those without funding. Waivers or discounts may be granted upon request, especially for special issues or invited contributions. Please contact the editorial office for more information.

Payment Procedure

Authors will be invoiced once their manuscript is accepted. Payment instructions will be sent via email. APCs must be paid in full before the article is published online.

Financial Support

In special cases, the lead guest editor may arrange funding to cover APCs for contributors. This must be pre-approved by the editorial board and disclosed in the conflict of interest statement.
