Article Processing Charges (APC) Information

Article Processing Charges (APC) Information

To partly cover the cost of publication, authors from Vietnam pay an article processing charge (APC) of 500 thousand VND (approximately 22 USD) for manuscripts accepted after the pre-check by the managing editor. However, authors from countries other than Vietnam are not required to pay any article processing charges.

There are no charges for rejected articles after the pre-check, no submission charges, and no surcharges based on the length of an article, figures or supplementary data. Editorial items (Editorials, Corrections, Additions, Retractions, Letters, Comments, etc.) are published free of charge.

Authors can pay the article processing charge online using a QR code that are automatically sent to their accounts after the pre-check stage.
