Article Processing Charges (APC) and Fee Policy

Article Processing Charges (APC) and Fee Policy

The Journal of Sports Science Academy (JOSSA) does not charge authors any fees at any stage of the submission, peer-review, editorial, or publication process.

There are no:

• submission fees;
• article processing charges (APCs);
• editorial processing fees;
• peer-review fees;
• publication fees;
• page charges; or
• colour charges.

All manuscripts are evaluated solely on the basis of their scientific quality, originality, methodological rigor, ethical compliance, relevance to the journal's aims and scope, and peer-review standards.

The absence of publication fees has no effect on the editorial or peer-review process.

All articles accepted for publication are published open access without charge to authors and are made freely available to readers in accordance with JOSSA's Open Access Policy and CC BY 4.0 License.

JOSSA is committed to supporting equitable access to scholarly publishing by ensuring that an author's ability to pay does not constitute a condition for submission, evaluation, acceptance, or publication.
