Article Processing Charges

Science Park Publisher is an open access publisher, providing free and immediate online access to the full text of research papers, which may be read, distributed, and reused under our licensing policy. We ensure prompt publication and rigorous peer review at no cost to authors at present.

Current Policy

At this time, publishing in any Science Park Publisher journal is completely free of charge. This means:

• No article processing charges (APCs)

• No submission fees

• No page charges

• No editorial processing fees

• No colour printing or figure charges

• No language editing fees

• No membership fees

Publication is free for all authors, regardless of country or funding status.

Future Plans

In the future, Science Park Publisher may introduce APCs to cover the costs of journal production, peer review management, hosting, and archiving. Should this occur, fees will be clearly stated on our website, made available at the start of the submission process, and will only be payable upon acceptance of the manuscript.

Waivers (Planned Policy)

When APCs are introduced, waiver or discount programs will be available for authors who:

• Are from low-income or lower-middle-income countries (as classified by the World Bank).

• Lack funding to cover publication costs.

• Eligibility criteria, application procedures, and applicable author roles will be clearly outlined at that time.

Editorial Independence

Whether or not fees are charged, and regardless of any waiver status, editorial decisions will remain entirely independent of an author’s ability to pay. All manuscripts will be evaluated solely on scholarly merit and relevance to the journal.
