The journal offers a limited Article Processing Charge (APC) discount exclusively for undergraduate students. The standard APC is USD 100 per article. Upon request after manuscript acceptance, eligible undergraduate authors may receive a 50% discount, reducing the APC to USD 50 per article. This discount aims to support early researchers with limited financial resources.
All discount requests are reviewed confidentially. Editorial decisions—including peer review and manuscript acceptance—are made independently of an author’s ability to pay, in full compliance with COPE principles.
