We follow the Gold Open Access way. This means that authors publish in our journals that provide immediate open access for readers to all articles on the publisher’s website. The readers pay nothing, while authors (or their institutions or funders) pay a fee/charge to maintain the journal operation.

We charge authors a fee for each article they publish. This fee helps the open-access journals to cover their operational expenses. To avoid confusion and ensure fairness among customers, we do not waive or reduce fees/charges to anyone, including the editorial board member and the author of the special issue.

As an open-access publisher, charges a fee/charge to cover the publication costs, which covers but is not limited to the following: • Printing • Mailing (two copies of printed journals will be sent to the corresponding author after published, free of charge) • DOI fee (We assign a DOI name to each article) • CrossCheck/iThenticate fees • Maintenance fee (article online hosting and backup) • Labor costs (Call for papers, author services, managing peer-review, editing, publishing, and other direct works) • Banking service • Marketing and advertisement • Trademark fee

We have a policy of “Zero Tolerance on Plagiarism.” We use CrossCheck (powered by iThenticate) to check submissions for plagiarism.

Attitudes about self-plagiarism vary in the academic community. However, our policy is that self-plagiarism is still plagiarism, and, like all reputable publishers, we do not tolerate it.

It depends on the specific journal. Please visit each journal’s website for details.
