Article Processing Charge (APC) Policy

The journal provides open-access publication for researchers, readers, and institutions. Authors will not be charged for submission. However, the article processing charges are required, as it is normally the case for open-access journals. The charges would be required after acceptance and when papers are ready for publication. A sum of 100,000 ID will be charged for the accepted manuscript for researchers from Iraq. For researchers from outside Iraq, no fee is required for the accepted articles.

The processing charges of an article are applicable per paper once and are not refundable. Authors can withdraw their manuscript(s) at any time, but before signing the copyright. In the case of manuscript termination, the processing charges would not be refundable either.

The charges for article processing are used to maintain the journal publication location and to manage all kinds of hardware and software resources before and after the article publication. This includes managing the journal website, similarity detection software, laptops, printers, etc. In addition, these charges cover assigning the article DOI, server maintenance fees, and cross-reference membership fees (annually).
