Publication Charges
JECD supports free global access to scholarly knowledge through sustainable open-access publishing while maintaining high editorial and publication standards.

JECD’s mission is to support and encourage the free dissemination of academic knowledge through open access publishing. Educational, cultural and development research should be freely available to educators, researchers, students, institutions and policy makers worldwide.

Open access publishing increases the visibility, accessibility and impact of scholarly research while encouraging international collaboration and knowledge sharing across disciplines.

Following manuscript acceptance, the journal may charge an Article Processing Charge (APC) to support professional publication services. Complete APC information, including payment procedures, will always be available on the journal website before manuscript submission.
