Article Processing Charges (APCs)
All journals published by Bytran Publishing Services (BPS) follow a full open access model in which every accepted article is freely available to readers worldwide. To support editorial operations, production services, platform maintenance, and long term preservation, an Article Processing Charge is applied to manuscripts that have successfully passed peer review and received final acceptance. The APC for this journal is US $500.
There are no fees for submission, no charges for the use of color in figures, and no cost applied to supplementary materials or additional files. Authors will receive complete information about the Article Processing Charge during the final stages of acceptance to ensure transparency and clarity.
Waiver and Discount Requests
Authors who wish to request a waiver or a reduction of the Article Processing Charge must complete the APC Waiver Request Form provided by the editorial office or available on the journal website.
The completed form must include:
- A clear explanation of financial need
- Confirmation of the authors funding status
- Any relevant supporting information
The editorial leadership reviews all forms carefully to ensure fair and consistent decisions. Priority is given to authors without institutional funding and to researchers from countries classified as low income or lower middle income economies according to the World Bank.
Commitment to Accessibility and Fair Practice
BPS is committed to making open access publishing attainable for researchers from all regions and career stages. Financial considerations never influence editorial decisions. Manuscripts are evaluated solely on their scientific quality, relevance, and contribution to the field. Through this approach, BPS supports an inclusive publishing environment that encourages global participation in scholarly communication.
