Article Publication Charge

Article Publication Charge (APC)
The Nurse Educators and Practitioners Journal (NEPJ) is committed to the broad and equitable dissemination of scholarly knowledge through a full open-access publishing model. As a non-profit, peer-reviewed journal, all published articles are made freely and permanently accessible to readers worldwide, without subscription or access fees.

The APC helps cover essential publication costs, including editorial and peer-review management, website hosting and maintenance, Crossref DOI registration, digital archiving and preservation services, professional copyediting and formatting, and the dissemination of published content.
