Why Open Access?
The VL Journal of Applied Sciences believes that scientific knowledge should be freely accessible to everyone, regardless of geographical or financial barriers. By adopting an open-access model, we ensure that:
- Research is freely accessible to all readers worldwide.
- There are no subscription fees, enabling wider participation from researchers in low- and middle-income countries.
- Authors retain copyright and control over the distribution of their work, allowing it to be shared and cited more widely.
All articles are published under a Creative Commons license, ensuring that they can be freely downloaded, shared, and referenced while giving appropriate credit to the authors.
Article Processing Charges
As part of our commitment to open access, an article processing charge (APC) of USD 250 is charged to authors upon the acceptance of a manuscript. This fee supports the journal's operational costs, including peer review, editorial services, and publication, ensuring the high quality and accessibility of our content. However, we also offer discounts and waivers for authors from low- and middle-income countries upon an evaluation on a case-to-case basis.
