Why these fees?
Due to the high costs associated with operating and maintaining our journal's website, in addition to the continuous need for updates and enhancements to maintain service quality, we have decided to impose a fee of IQD 400,000 per article published. These fees cover not just the overhead expenses, but also a comprehensive suite of professional services that ensure the elevation of submitted works to the highest standards. Among these services is meticulous language editing in either Arabic or English, including spelling and grammar corrections and writing style enhancements to reflect the required academic and scientific precision. Furthermore, we format the research to align with the journal's standard style, including the organization of texts, tables, and figures, ensuring compliance with our publishing standards. Lastly, the fees also cover the production and final output process of the article, guaranteeing its presentation at the highest levels of visual and technical quality. All these efforts aim to support researchers and academics, ensuring their work is communicated to the audience in the best possible manner and contributing to the advancement of knowledge and science.
