The publisher lists an article processing charge of about US$1,740 for open access (source: OpenAlex). Many journals also publish by the subscription route at no cost to the author, so confirm on the journal's own website.

In its latest 87 research articles (2025–2026), authors are most often from India (16.6%), United States (8.1%) and China (7.9%).
