Article Processing Charge

The Numerate Journal is committed to promoting open access to research in the field of numeracy and mathematics education. As part of this commitment, we are pleased to announce that there are no Article Processing Charges (APCs) for authors who wish to publish their work in our journal.

1. No Article Processing Charge

  • Free of Charge: Authors will not incur any fees for submitting, processing, or publishing their manuscripts. This policy is designed to eliminate financial barriers that may hinder researchers from sharing their work and contributing to the academic community.

  • Equitable Access: By waiving APCs, we ensure that all researchers, regardless of their financial resources or institutional affiliations, can publish their original research without concern for publication costs. This commitment aligns with our goal of fostering inclusivity and diversity in the field of mathematics education.

2. Funding and Support

  • Sustainable Model: The Numerate Journal is supported through institutional partnerships, grants, and sponsorships, allowing us to maintain high-quality publishing standards while offering our services free of charge to authors.

  • Transparency in Funding: We are committed to transparency regarding our funding sources and how they are utilized to support the journal’s operations. This is essential to maintain the trust of our authors, reviewers, and readers.

  • High-Quality Publication: We prioritize the quality and integrity of the research we publish. Authors can expect the same level of professionalism and academic rigor as they would in any high-impact journal that charges processing fees.

4. Open Access Commitment

  • Wider Dissemination: By eliminating APCs, we enhance the visibility and accessibility of research articles to a global audience. This promotes wider dissemination of knowledge and encourages collaboration across disciplines.

  • Encouraging Research Impact: Open access publishing allows authors to reach a broader readership, which can lead to increased citations, greater impact, and enhanced recognition in their respective fields.

5. Conclusion

The Numerate Journal is dedicated to advancing research in numeracy and mathematics education without imposing financial burdens on authors. Our no-APC policy reflects our commitment to open access, inclusivity, and the promotion of high-quality research. We invite researchers from all backgrounds to submit their work and contribute to the ongoing dialogue in the field, knowing that their efforts can be shared freely with the global academic community.
