PUBLICATION FEE

Our journal has consciously chosen not to seek public funding or display advertisements on its websites. This decision is essential to preserve our autonomy and ensure full editorial independence. To cover the expenses inherent to publications, we adopt a funding model in which authors themselves contribute through the payment of a publication fee.

It is important to emphasize that the idea of free publishing is a misconception: there are always costs involved, which are ultimately borne by someone — either the authors or taxpayers, in the case of public funding.

The publication fee is calculated based on several factors, including fixed monthly costs, variable expenses, and necessary investments. The main expenses include: hosting services, hiring qualified professionals (journalists, lawyers, librarians, IT specialists, Data Protection Officer – DPO, accountant, among others), DOI registration (in US dollars), communication services (internet and telephone), text editing and layout, marketing, software subscriptions, equipment acquisition (such as notebooks), as well as taxes (federal and municipal) and registrations in indexing platforms and directories.

The Journal clarifies that there is no charge for the initial submission of articles. However, after acceptance, a publication fee of R$ 299.00 (two hundred and ninety-nine reais) is applied for authors from Brazil and US$ 200.00 (two hundred dollars) for international authors. We emphasize that post-publication corrections incur an additional fee of R$ 200.00 (two hundred reais).
