Article Processing Charges (APC)

As an open access journal, JASTT applies an Article Processing Charge (APC) for each accepted article to cover the essential costs of high-quality publication. These fees support the infrastructure required to publish, distribute, and preserve scholarly content at a professional standard.

Current APC Structure:

  • Local Authors (Iraqi): 300,000 IQD per article

  • International Authors: 100 USD per article

  • Publication Fees will be 300 USD per accepted article from September 01, 2025

  • Editorial Screening: Initial checks for formatting, plagiarism (Turnitin), and ethical compliance

  • Peer Review Management: Handling double-blind peer review through editorial coordination

  • Production & Copyediting: Professional typesetting, formatting, and DOI assignment

  • Quality Assurance: Proofreading and language refinement for academic clarity

  • Platform Maintenance: Submission system and website operations
