In Open Access Publication, the readers have free access to the published articles. It provides unrestricted usage of the published data by anyone with proper citation of the article. To sustain this model, authors are charged an Article Processing Charge (APC) to cover the cost of production, peer review, and permanent archiving.
The submitted author is responsible for the payment of the Article Processing Charge. However, fee discounts and waivers are available to authors from middle and low income nations. The article will be published online only after the payment of publication charges is confirmed.
