Waiver and Discount Policy

The journal may consider partial APC waivers or discounts in exceptional cases, particularly for authors from low-income countries or those facing genuine financial constraints.

Refund Policy

Once an article has been accepted and processed for publication, APC payments are generally non-refundable. Exceptions may be considered only under extraordinary circumstances and at the discretion of the editorial board.
