This ensures that both the scientific community and the general public have unrestricted, free, and immediate access to published research. It also allows for content reuse, provided proper attribution is given to the original authors.

To maintain the quality of our publishing services and provide open access to readers, we charge a one-time Article Processing Charge (APC) of USD 300$ for manuscripts accepted after peer review. This fee supports our commitment to delivering high standards in scholarly publishing.

No submission charges. No charges for rejected articles. No additional fees based on article length, figures, or supplementary data. Editorial items such as Editorials, Corrections, Additions, Retractions, Letters, and Comments are published free of charge.

At LQ Publishing, we are committed to supporting researchers worldwide, particularly those with limited resources.

Waivers for Low-Income Countries: APCs are routinely waived for authors from low-income countries to encourage their participation in global research dissemination. Case-by-Case Discounts: Authors facing financial constraints or demonstrating exceptional content quality can request waivers or discounts during the submission process.
