APC

The journal’s funding policy is based on the principles of transparency, accountability, and integrity. The journal does not charge any publication fees; no article processing charge (APC).

All funding is provided by the Institute of Technical Mechanics; the Editor-in-Chief, the Vice Editor-in-Chief, the Editorial Board members, and the reviewers work on a voluntary basis.

Technical Mechanics is in diamond open access, i.e., free both for authors to publish in and for readers to access all papers and issues. In particular, the single-author papers of government-paid post-graduate students are free of any processing, reviewing, or publication charges. 

Once published, all papers are immediately in open access for reading, downloading, citation, and use without any technical limitations or embargo, i.e., without any access delay.

No APC does not affect the journal’s quality requirements for manuscripts, the peer review procedure, or the editorial policy of the journal.
