What Are APCs?
Article Processing Charges (APCs) are fees charged to authors to cover the costs associated with editorial management, peer review, production, and global distribution of articles. These fees ensure that your work is accessible, widely visible, and maintained to the highest standards.

Transparency in APCs
Scientia International is transparent about the allocation of APCs:
• Publication Operations: Technical support, maintenance, and improvements to the submission system.
• Editing: Professional manuscript production, including formatting and conversion to various formats.
• Editorial Fees: Compensation for editors who uphold the quality and integrity of the journal.
• Promotion and Marketing: Increasing the visibility and reach of published manuscripts.
• Manuscript Translation: Approximately 50% of the APC fee funds translation into English, Portuguese, and Spanish. We accept manuscripts in any language and translate them into these languages, publishing in the original language to break language barriers.

Commitment to Open Access
We believe that open access is essential for the dissemination of knowledge. Along with competitive APCs, we ensure there are no hidden costs. Rejected manuscripts are not charged, and there are no additional fees for manuscript length or the number of figures.
