In line with our commitment to open-access publication, our journal is freely available online. To sustain the continuous publication and online availability of the journal, the core committee has determined a minimal fee to be charged to authors following the acceptance of their manuscript.
Current APC: 120 USD
- The above charges are covering the online publication of one entire research paper with a maximum of 5 authors, word count of < 6000, figures/illustrations < 5, tables < 5. Papers exceeding these specifications shall be charged extra accordingly.
- To streamline payment processes and ensure secure transactions, we encourage authors to submit payment proof along with the signed Copyright Form to editor@zkdx.ch.
- It is important to note that once the publication fee is paid, it is non-refundable. In the event of manuscript withdrawal after payment, fees will not be refunded.
There are no charges associated with the submission, review, or typesetting/copyediting processes for publication in ZKDX Journal. All articles published in our journal are immediately accessible online as open-access content.
