SCIENTIA INTERNATIONAL

Visión general

At Scientia International, we are committed to the power of open research. All our articles are published under an open access license, allowing them to be accessed and shared globally without restriction.

What are APCs?

Article Processing Charges (APCs) are fees charged to authors to cover the costs associated with editorial management, peer review, production, and global distribution of articles. These fees ensure your work is accessible, widely visible, and held to the highest standards.

Transparency in APCs

Scientia International is transparent about the allocation of APCs:

• Publishing Operations: Technical support, maintenance, and improvements to the submission system.
• Editing: Professional manuscript production, including formatting and conversion to multiple formats.
• Editorial Fees: Compensation for editors who uphold the quality and integrity of the journal.
• Promotion and Marketing: Enhancing the visibility and reach of published manuscripts.
• Translation of Manuscripts: Approximately 50% of the APC fee funds translation into English, Portuguese, and Spanish. We accept manuscripts in any language and translate them into these languages, publishing in the original language to break language barriers.

Exemptions and Discounts: We support open research and therefore offer discounts and exemptions for eligible authors.

Commitment to Open Access

We believe that open access is essential for the dissemination of knowledge. Along with competitive APCs, we ensure there are no hidden costs. Rejected manuscripts are not charged, and there are no additional fees for the size or number of figures in the manuscript.

Discounts and Support

We offer discounts to members of affiliated societies and authors from partner institutions. Additionally, authors from low- and middle-income countries can apply for discounts or exemptions.

APCs for Each Journal

All our journals have a standardized Article Processing Charge (APC) of €1,500 (one thousand five hundred euros). This rate reflects our commitment to research quality and accessibility and aligns with our mission to overcome language barriers.

Discounts for Low and Middle-Income Countries

Authors affiliated with institutions in the following groups receive APC discounts:

• 20%: Research4Life “Group A” countries
• 10%: Research4Life “Group B” countries

The discount should be requested at the time of submission in the “Comments to Editor” field.

Rate and Currency Considerations

For authors in countries with specific tax systems, additional taxes may apply according to local legislation. Please review local tax regulations before making payment.

Linguistic Review

Scientia International maintains a high linguistic standard across all publications. Basic linguistic review is included in the APC for all accepted articles. However, if extensive revision is needed, authors may be asked to make corrections, which could affect publication timelines.

Funding and Discounts

Many institutions and funding agencies recognize the importance of open access and allow APC coverage through research grants. Scientia International may offer exemptions or discounts on a case-by-case basis. Authors should discuss any special requests with our Editorial Team upon submission. Additionally, we offer discounts for reviewers and authors affiliated with partner universities.

Payment Options

Scientia International accepts payments in various currencies through PayPal. Bank transfers to corporate accounts in Europe (Euros – €) and Brazil (Reais – R$) are also available. Please check any bank or conversion fees prior to payment. APCs should be paid within 10 business days after article acceptance.

Conclusion

At Scientia International, we are dedicated to making research accessible to everyone. Our APCs support high-quality services for authors and readers, including article translations to overcome language barriers.

Important Note

Only official invoices issued by Scientia International are valid for APC payment. We do not authorize third parties to collect APCs on our behalf. Any questions about payment should be directed to our Editorial Team.
