Processing Fee

JOANA (Journal of Artificial and Natural Acts) is committed to promoting open access knowledge dissemination without financial barriers for authors.

Article Processing Charges (APC)

We are pleased to inform that:

  • No submission fee is charged for all manuscripts submitted to JOANA.
  • No publication fee (APC) is required for accepted papers, particularly for the inaugural issue.

This policy reflects our commitment to supporting researchers, especially early-career scholars, by providing an accessible platform for high-quality scientific publication.

This approach is aligned with several open-access journals that aim to remove financial obstacles in scholarly publishing and provide free publication opportunities for authors .

Open Access Policy

All articles published in JOANA are:

  • Freely accessible to readers worldwide
  • Published under an open-access model
  • Assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) to ensure permanent accessibility and citation tracking

Future Policy Development

As JOANA continues to grow and improve its editorial quality, infrastructure, and indexing status, the journal may introduce reasonable publication fees in the future. Any changes to the fee structure will be:

  • Clearly communicated on the journal website
  • Applied transparently and fairly
  • Considered with waivers or discounts when necessary

Optional Support and Contribution

To support the sustainability and development of the journal, authors and institutions may voluntarily contribute or collaborate with the journal. These contributions will help:

  • Maintain editorial and peer-review quality
  • Improve digital publishing systems
  • Expand journal visibility and indexing

Participation in such contributions is entirely optional and does not influence editorial decisions.

Important Note

  • Editorial decisions are based solely on academic merit, originality, and relevance.
  • There is no guarantee of acceptance regardless of any voluntary contribution.
  • JOANA strictly adheres to ethical publishing standards and transparency in all processes.
