Revenue Sources

All the journals in Smoky Mountain Publishing Company are self-financed and does not receive any funding from any institution/government or any other source. Hence, the operation of journals is solely financed by the Article  Processing Charges (APC) they receive from authors. This APC is required to meet operational expenses such as employees, salaries, internet services, electricity etc.

All the costs of journal production, web hosting, content management system, database, online repository, peer review, editing and online publication are covered only through APC paid by authors.
