Article handling / Processing Fee

There is no article submission fee for this journal. However, as the journal does not receive any governmental or non-governmental financial support, authors are required to pay an article handling/processing fee after the manuscript has successfully undergone peer review and has been accepted for publication. This fee helps cover the costs associated with manuscript formatting, the publication process, and website maintenance.
