Depending on the journal, we generally accept original research articles, review articles, short communications, case studies, and editorials. Each submission must fall within the journal’s stated scope and adhere to the formatting and ethical requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.

APC payments can typically be made via secure PayPal link, Wise transfer, or direct bank transfer. Detailed payment instructions are sent together with the formal acceptance letter so that authors can choose the most convenient option.

Waivers or partial discounts may be considered in special cases, particularly for authors from low‑income countries or those without institutional funding.
