Article Processing Charges

As a scientific journal, we understand that some institutions may have limited funds for their research activities, especially those in developing countries. Therefore, the open access publication model of MASKANA does not require authors to cover article processing charges. All costs related to the evaluation process, formatting, editing and stylistic correction, web publication, and long-term archiving are covered by the Vice-rectorate for Research of Universidad de Cuenca (VIUC). MASKANA offers this free publication system as our primary goal is not only to provide a learning platform for scientific article writing but also to promote the dissemination of knowledge through the publication of high-quality research articles. We continually pursue these objectives without imposing a financial burden on researchers or their institutions.
