APC & Waiver Policy

Transparency First

Article Processing Charges (APCs)
& Waiver Policy

Synergy Publication operates on an open-access model, meaning all published articles are instantly and permanently accessible to anyone, anywhere. To sustain open-access publishing, cover production costs, and maintain professional infrastructure, we charge a nominal Article Processing Charge (APC) upon manuscript acceptance.

No subscription fees • No paywalls • Instant access
Where Your APC Goes

Why Do We Charge APCs?

Unlike traditional publishers, we do not charge subscription fees or hide content behind paywalls. APCs are used directly to fund:

Editorial Operations

Managing peer review coordination, system maintenance, and plagiarism checks.

Production & Layout

Formatting manuscripts into professional PDF and HTML versions, preparing figures, and copyediting.

Digital Preservation

Allocating CrossRef DOIs, metadata deposits, XML conversions, and database indexing.

Web Hosting

Storing publications on high-speed, secure servers with reliable uptime.
