Article Processing Charge

Transparent pricing for sustainable open access publishing.

Open Access Commitment: All articles published in our journals and proceedings are open access and freely available online immediately upon publication. We guarantee that no university library or individual reader will ever have to pay subscription or pay-per-view fees.

This model is sustained by Article Processing Charges (APCs), which cover the range of publishing services we provide.

Services Covered by APCs
Online Tools: Provision of submission systems for editors and authors.
Production & Hosting: Article formatting, XML generation, and server maintenance.
Indexing: Liaison with major abstracting and indexing services.
Support: Dedicated customer service and administrative support.
Fee Schedule

APCs become payable only after a manuscript has received editorial acceptance following peer review. Formatting checks will commence once the fee is paid.

Category (based on GNI per capita) APCs (GBP £)
High-income Countries £ 799
Upper-middle-income Countries £ 580
Low-middle-income Countries £ 429
Low-income Countries £ 269

* Authors will be charged according to their country's economic classification. Please refer to the World Bank GNI per capita list for details.

Printed Hardcopies
Authors wishing to receive a printed hardcopy may order one for an additional flat fee (covering printing and mailing costs). This fee is separate from the APC and does not vary based on word count or color figures.
Payment Methods

Detailed payment instructions will be sent to the corresponding author immediately upon acceptance. We accept:

Credit Card / PayPal
Visa, MasterCard, Discover, Amex
Bank Transfer
International Wire Transfer / E-check

Security Recommendation: For enhanced security, we suggest using PayPal. As a global leader in online payments (available in 190+ countries), PayPal ensures that your credit card details are never exposed to the merchant, minimizing the risk of unauthorized use.
