Article Processing Charges (APC) & Fees

1. Overview

Ellinger Publishing Media is committed to supporting the dissemination of high-quality scholarly research through an accessible and transparent publishing model. This page outlines our Article Processing Charges (APC) policy and any applicable fees associated with publication.

2. APC Waiver (Introductory Period)

During the initial stage of our publishing operations, Ellinger Publishing Media offers a full waiver of Article Processing Charges (APC) for all accepted manuscripts.

This means that authors are not required to pay any fees for submission, peer review, or publication of their articles during this period.

This waiver is provided to support early contributors and to promote the accessibility of high-quality research.

3. Scope of Waiver

The APC waiver applies to:

• Manuscript submission
• Peer review and editorial processing
• Article publication and hosting
• Open access availability

No hidden or additional charges will be applied during this period.

4. Future APC Policy

Ellinger Publishing Media reserves the right to introduce Article Processing Charges (APC) in the future as part of its standard publishing model.

Any such changes will:

• Be clearly communicated in advance
• Not affect manuscripts already submitted or accepted under the waiver period
• Be transparently disclosed on this page and during the submission process

5. Transparency and Commitment

We are committed to maintaining:

• Transparent fee structures
• Fair and ethical publishing practices
• High editorial and peer review standards regardless of APC status

The absence of APC during this period does not influence editorial decisions, which remain based solely on academic merit and quality.
