The journal is owned by Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VILNIUS TECH) who supports the journal and the publishing operation of VILNIUS TECH. However, the part of the cost of publication is funded by Article Publication Charges (APCs) paid by authors or their institutes. 

 

The fixed standard Article processing charge of 302.50 Eur, including 21% VAT tax is applicable for manuscripts submitted after 1st of January 2024. Please note that the fixed standard Article processing charge of 500 Eur, including 21% VAT, is applicable for all manuscripts submitted after the 1st of April 2026 (maximum manuscript extent is limited to 4000 words). This charge includes the costs of the review process, systems, typesetting, web publication and long-term archiving.

 

According to the laws of Lithuania, the tax (VAT) must be included for payers who are natural persons and only institutions can have it excluded (for European Union countries only). For institutions paying the APCs, they can be transferred directly to VILNIUS TECH, excluding the VAT from the sum.
