APC for developing countries

The journal is dedicated to supporting researchers from developing countries, which do not have options to provide grants and financial support for the scientists to publish their results in open access. In such cases, we may waive the publication fee for authors with affiliation in countries experiencing military conflicts or authors with a lack of research funding. Author should contact us and provide a justification for the fee waiver.

Furthermore, Ukrainian scientists have the option to apply for grants to publish their work in in the journal although the number of grants available per year is limited. The researchers should submit their requests for a grant to the journal Editorial Office.

In addition, authors from low- and middle-income countries, as classified by the World Bank, may be eligible for discounts of 20% and 10%, respectively. These authors should contact us and provide an explanation for the requested discount.

All requests for fee waivers or discounts are evaluated on a case-by-case basis by the journal Editorial Office.
