Publication Fee / APC
Publication Fees and APC
Renaissance of Universal Mind · RUM PUBLISHING GROUP MCHJ
1. No mandatory publication fees
The journal’s declared fee model is diamond open access: APC = 0. There is no submission, peer-review, standard publication, open-access or reader-download fee. Mandatory editorial similarity screening is part of the standard process and must not be converted into a compulsory purchase from an outside service. The same standard fee policy applies to domestic and international authors.
2. Editorial independence and optional services
RUM PUBLISHING GROUP MCHJ is the publisher. Its publishing responsibilities and any commercial activity must remain separate from scholarly decisions. No payment, editing service, translation or checking certificate guarantees acceptance, expedited favourable review or indexing. Any separately commissioned optional service must have clear terms and must not become a condition of editorial assessment.
3. Funding transparency and fee changes
The publisher is responsible for supporting the stated no-APC model. Research funding received by an author must be disclosed but does not create a publication-fee obligation. Any future introduction of fees must be clearly announced before it applies and must not retrospectively change an agreed publication arrangement. A written confirmation of the published APC=0 policy may be requested from the editorial office.
