Editorial items (Editorials, Corrections, Additions, Retractions, Letters, Comments, etc.) are published free of charge.

We also allow authors to send a request to waive the APC in stated reasons in the letter. Send the request letter to thequest@neust.journalintellect.com and the editorial board will decide on the merit of the request.
