Article Processing Charge
An Article Processing Charge (APC) is a fee that is
charged to authors, or their institutions or funders, to
cover the costs of publishing an article in an open
access journal. Aytin Publications requires authors to
pay an APC for the publication of their articles. The
APC covers the costs of peer-review, editing,
publishing, maintaining and archiving, and providing
online access to the articles.
Note: Please note that authors are also
responsible for paying any transaction charges that may
be incurred, such as inter-banking charges or wire
transfer fees.
Refund Policy:
Aytin Publications has a clear policy regarding refunds
for Article Processing Charge (APC). Once an article has
been accepted and published, the APC paid by the author
cannot be refunded. This means that once the payment has
been made and the article has been made available to the
public, the author will not be able to receive a refund
for the APC.
Waiver Policy:
Aytin Publications understands that not all authors have
the financial resources to pay the article processing
charge (APC) and therefore have a transparent waiver
policy in place. The policy is designed to support
authors who are unable to meet the costs of publishing
open access. The publisher will consider waivers and
discounts on a case-by-case basis for authors from
low-income countries as defined by the World Bank and
for those who have completed their research without any
external financial support. The goal is to ensure that
the APC will never be a barrier to publishing and that
authors can publish in any open access journal,
regardless of their economic status.
