Scientia International Press is expanding access to multilingual research publishing<\/strong> through special journal APC terms, publication in English, Portuguese and Spanish, and clearer guidance for scholarly work in sign languages, Indigenous languages and other modalities. Researchers can now consult the updated instructions across all 11 journals and the book and chapter portal.<\/p>

Journal APCs: a full waiver or \u20ac150 under the 2026 terms<\/h2>

Each journal\u2019s volume 1, issue 1, has a full APC waiver<\/strong>. From volume 1, issue 2, articles accepted by 31 December 2026<\/strong> have a basic Article Processing Charge of \u20ac150 instead of \u20ac450<\/strong>, a reduction of 66.7%. Eligibility depends on acceptance by the deadline; submitting before that date alone does not qualify an article.<\/p>

Submission is free, rejected manuscripts incur no charge, and payment is requested only after acceptance. Scientific assessment is independent of fees, discounts and waivers. Optional services and applicable taxes are additional. Read the complete APC policy and conditions<\/a> before submitting.<\/p>

Trilingual articles and metadata in six languages<\/h2>

The basic article service includes machine translation for publication in English, Portuguese and Spanish<\/strong>, with authors reviewing and validating scientific meaning and terminology. Titles, abstracts and keywords are prepared in English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, German and Mandarin Chinese. This metadata coverage does not mean six full-text translations.<\/p>

Accepted articles receive individual DOIs and are published in open access under CC BY 4.0. The journals use open peer review, with identified reviewers and published reports under their editorial policies. Publication remains subject to scholarly quality, research integrity and editorial acceptance.<\/p>

Libras, Indigenous languages and multimodal scholarship<\/h2>

The updated guidance welcomes scholarly work in Libras and other sign languages<\/strong>, academic video articles, sign writing such as SignWriting, and Indigenous, minority or oral languages. These modalities can communicate rigorous research across the journals\u2019 respective disciplines and the publisher\u2019s chapter calls.<\/p>

The complete original work and a complete written version in English, Portuguese or Spanish must be submitted together at the initial submission.<\/strong> A translated title, abstract or partial transcript does not replace the full written counterpart. For oral work, include the complete recording and corresponding written version.<\/p>

Authors should identify the language and community, credit translators or interpreters, and identify who validated correspondence between the versions. Provide references, clear audiovisual materials and relevant captions, transcripts or other accessibility resources. Machine translation alone is insufficient to validate sign-language content.<\/p>

Both versions belong to one submission in the same account<\/strong>. Select the written-version language in the interface and state the original language and modality in the comments to the editor. Screening checks scope, technical suitability and the availability of reviewers with appropriate subject and language expertise. Original modalities may accompany publication where technically and editorially feasible; submission does not guarantee acceptance.<\/p>
