The Impact Factor (IF), also known as the Journal Impact Factor (JIF), is a commonly used metric for ranking academic journals. Journals with higher impact factors are generally regarded as more prestigious and influential within their respective fields. The Impact Factor represents the average number of citations received per article published in a journal over the previous two years. It is widely used by academic institutions and funding agencies to inform decisions on promotions, tenure, and research funding. However, it has faced criticism for encouraging practices that may compromise scientific integrity and quality. The Impact Factor is a scientometric index calculated by Clarivate, based on data from its Web of Science database.
You can find the online application form under the "Publish a Special Issue" tab, available in any of the main menu sections. Please complete the form, and all further communication will be handled by the publication office.
WCM charges an Article Processing Fee (APC) of $1000. This fee enables WCM to offer open access to all published articles, ensuring broad dissemination and accessibility. The APC is intentionally kept at a minimal level to promote inclusivity and encourage submissions from a diverse range of authors. It covers essential publishing services and supports the continued operation of the journal. The APC is payable by the author upon acceptance of the article for publication.
