APC Policy

Shareholding follows a no-article-processing-charge (No APC) policy for authors. The journal does not require authors to pay an article processing charge for the submission, peer review, editorial evaluation, or publication of accepted manuscripts.

Authors are not required to make any payment in order to have their manuscripts considered for publication or to undergo the journal's peer-review process. Editorial decisions are based solely on the scholarly quality, originality, relevance, methodological soundness, and academic contribution of submitted manuscripts, and are not influenced by an author's ability or willingness to make a payment.

The journal is committed to providing an equitable and accessible publishing environment in which researchers can submit and publish scholarly work without article processing charges. No author will be given preferential treatment, and no manuscript will be rejected or accepted on the basis of financial considerations.

Any future changes to the journal's publication and fee policies, if applicable, will be communicated transparently through the official journal website. Authors are encouraged to consult the journal's official information before submitting a manuscript for the latest publication policies.
