Academic Sustainability Donation for Scientific Advancement

The Academic Sustainability Contribution for Scientific Advancement is a payment designed to support editorial activities and the dissemination of knowledge within the academic community. Its purpose is to ensure the continuity and accessibility of high-quality scientific publications, fostering research and the exchange of ideas within the global scientific community.

This contribution plays a vital role in strengthening the infrastructure required for the publication of academic works, enabling the development of scientific knowledge, and facilitating access to research findings across diverse disciplines.

2. Open-access infrastructure: Secure hosting, software maintenance, and certificates that keep the journal online without paywalls.
3. Long-term preservation: Redundant backups and archiving services that safeguard content for future generations.
4. Quality assurance: Plagiarism detection and editorial tools that uphold the integrity and reliability of published research.

We appreciate that the Academic Sustainability Contribution for Scientific Advancement may not be covered by all funding bodies. Accordingly, a limited waiver scheme is available: authors who lack institutional support may apply for a partial or full waiver of the contribution under the journal’s waiver policy.
