Publication Fee Policy Update

Dear Authors,

 

This notice is to inform current and prospective authors of an update to the journal’s publication fee policy.

Until the end of 2024, the journal has been able to waive publication fees with the support of a Korean government–funded program. As this funding will conclude at the end of the current year, the journal must revise its publication fee policy to ensure sustainable editorial and publication operations.

Accordingly, effective January 1, 2025, a publication fee of USD 100 will be applied to all manuscripts accepted for publication.

This policy change has been carefully considered and is necessary to maintain the quality, transparency, and long-term stability of the journal.

 

We appreciate your understanding and continued interest in the journal.

 

Sincerely,

Younghee Noh
Editor-in-Chief
