All articles published in our journal are open access and are freely available online immediately after publication.
The Article Processing Fee (APF) covers a variety of publishing services, such as online tools for editors and authors, article hosting, indexing services, and author support.
No fee is charged upon submission; only after editorial acceptance of the manuscript will the corresponding author be notified that payment is due. The fee must be paid before publication.
The APF per article for authors belonging to Brazilian institutions will be R$ 750.00, and for authors from outside Brazil, US$ 400.00. The charge is independent of the article's size.
The corresponding author is responsible for making or arranging payment upon editorial acceptance of the manuscript. We advise immediate payment, as we cannot publish accepted articles until payment is received. Payment should be made via PIX, where the author will receive a notification on behalf of the Editor, who is responsible for the journal. 

Our refund policy will apply when a journal error results in the failure to publish a manuscript under the open access terms selected by the authors. This includes failure to make an open access article available on the journal's platform or publication of an article under a Creative Commons license different from that selected by the author(s). Refunds will only be offered if these errors have not been corrected within 30 days of publication.

No refunds will be issued if the article is removed due to an error or misconduct by the author.
