Charges and waivers

State all submission, review, publication and withdrawal fees explicitly, including when the fee is zero. Specify waiver criteria and refund rules.

No pay-to-accept policy

Payment must not influence reviewer selection or acceptance decisions.

Editorial and publisher details must be verified and policies formally approved before accepting submissions. No indexing claim is made.
