Article Processing Charges

Southern Cross Academic Press publishes multiple journals that operate as independent scholarly entities. The journals do not receive financial support from any government agency or external organization. To sustain high-quality open-access publishing, operational costs are covered through Article Processing Charges (APCs) paid by authors.

As an open-access publisher, Southern Cross Academic Press does not charge subscription or access fees. All published articles are made freely and permanently available online without restriction.

The APC supports essential publication services, including editorial management, peer review coordination, copyediting, formatting, online hosting, and long-term accessibility of published content. These processes ensure that manuscripts are rigorously reviewed, professionally presented, and continuously accessible to readers worldwide.

The journal is committed to transparency in its publication fees, and all charges are clearly stated on the journal website.

Online Publication Charges

The journal has established clear policies governing post-publication matters, including retractions, corrections, certificates, DOI-related requests, and republication. Requests for these services are handled in accordance with the journal’s official procedures.

A fee of USD 200 is charged for each request to cover the administrative work involved in reviewing, processing, and updating published records. Authors are encouraged to consult the journal’s published guidelines for detailed information on applicable procedures, requirements, and charges.
