1. What is APC?

Saintis Publishing published all journals in full open access under a Creative Commons (CC BY) license. This allows the scientific community and the general public to gain free and immediate access to scholarly articles, and to reuse the content freely provided that proper attribution is given to the original authors.

To cover the cost for providing our high-quality publishing service and free access to readers, authors pay article processing charge (APC) for manuscripts accepted after peer-review. There are no charges for rejected articles and no submission fee.
