Plagiarism screening and technical checks
Digital Object Identifier (DOI) assignment

Open-access availability for readers worldwide
Waivers and Discounts
The journal may consider partial or full waivers in exceptional cases, such as:

Requests for waivers must be submitted prior to manuscript acceptance and will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
