Charging an Article Processing Charge (APC) is essential for our open access journal. The APC covers rigorous peer review, editorial work, and administrative support. It funds Crossref DOI registration, reference linking, and Turnitin’s iThenticate plagiarism checks to maintain scholarly integrity. The APC also supports the technical infrastructure for hosting, indexing, and maintaining our website, ensuring research is easily accessible worldwide. 

This model enables immediate open access, facilitating the rapid dissemination and impact of research without subscription barriers. By charging an APC, we sustain the quality, integrity, and accessibility of our journal.
