To support the efficient operation, quality assurance, and long-term sustainability of the journal, the following Article Processing Charges (APC) policy applies. The APC is charged only after the manuscript has been finally accepted for publication. No APC is charged at the time of submission or during the peer-review process.

Pakistani Authors: PKR 20,000 per article.

International Authors: The publication fee is waived, provided that both the First Author and the Corresponding Author are affiliated with institutions outside Pakistan.

The publication fees collected from Pakistani authors are used exclusively to support the journal's editorial management, peer-review administration, production, publication, indexing, website maintenance, and other related operational expenses.

The journal remains committed to fostering global scholarly collaboration and promoting the dissemination of high-quality research. In line with this commitment, publication charges are waived for eligible international authors.

Editorial Independence: Payment or non-payment of an APC has no influence on the peer-review process, editorial decisions, or the acceptance or rejection of manuscripts. Editorial decisions are based on the scholarly quality, originality, relevance, and ethical standards of the submitted manuscripts.
