However, scholarly publishing is not without cost. Maintaining high editorial and ethical standards requires substantial and ongoing investment across many stages of the publication process, including manuscript handling, peer-review coordination, editorial oversight, copyediting, typesetting, digital infrastructure, long-term archiving, indexing, and platform maintenance. As the journal has grown in scope, visibility, and submissions, these operational demands have increased accordingly.
We are looking forward to your impactful scientific contributions!
