Publication Fee

Open Access and Article Processing Charge (APC)

As an Open Access journal, SMART MOVES JOURNAL IJELLH does not receive grants or funding from external organizations. To sustain our operations and maintain high publication standards, we charge a nominal Article Processing Charge (APC).

What the APC Covers:
The APC helps cover expenses related to:

• Administrative costs.
• Peer review process.
• Publication and online hosting.
• Website maintenance and security against threats (e.g., virus attacks, phishing).

Important Note:
The payment of the APC does not:

• Guarantee expedited processing or publication.
• Compromise the journal’s rigorous quality standards.

We ensure that all manuscripts meet our benchmarks before any payment is requested, maintaining transparency and integrity throughout the process.

No Charges for Manuscript Acceptance

We want to clearly state that:

“SMART MOVES JOURNAL IJELLH does not charge for the acceptance of manuscripts.”

The APC is applied only after a manuscript has successfully passed all quality checks and is approved for publication. This policy ensures fairness, quality, and transparency in our operations.
