HELP US TO SUSTAIN THE JOURNAL
BEFORE 1st DECEMBER 2022
Submitting, publishing, reading, and accessing any articles in the journal do not incur fees of any form. The journal is made non-profit to liberate science and make it free of charge for everyone.
However, someone would have to pay for the bills (server, domain, doi, archiving, marketing, manpower etc.) and expenses that keep this journal free for all. On average, 16 hours are spent on each accepted article from the moment of acceptance to publication. Not to mention the time spent on processing the manuscript for peer review.
Therefore, supporters, readers, and authors feel free to contribute any article viewing or processing fees as you like. You will have the choice of the amount you wish to pay as you read or publish your articles here. The amount ranges from MYR/USD 0 (FREE) to any figure that is affordable to you. We will not judge you if you decide not to contribute. After all, this is the main reason for establishing the journal to help liberate science regardless of your background. The fee is never obligatory. If you do contribute, you make maintaining the journal far more sustainable in the long term.
Regardless of your decision, please feel free to contribute your next manuscript to the journal or access any published articles as you like! As much as we want to improve, we look forward to your contributions and readership!
FROM 1st DECEMBER 2022 – 31st DECEMBER 2025
USD 50 per accepted article submitted on or after 1st December 2022.
FROM 1st JANUARY 2026 ONWARDS
Since the establishment of the journal in 2018, we have catered for more than 500 papers, of which 50% of them were published and well-cited to date. However, due to various factors, the admin has decided to increase the current AFFORDABLE APC to better cater to everyone. This is a hard decision, but it is timely given the scarcity of public donations. To ensure we continue to serve our community better, we have decided to impose USD 150 per accepted article submitted on or after 1st January 2026.
