TK TechForum Journal operates under a Diamond Open Access publishing model. This means that all articles are freely available to readers, and authors are not required to pay any fees for submission, peer review, processing, publication, or access.
The journal does not charge article processing charges (APCs), submission fees, page charges, editorial handling fees, publication fees, or any other author-side charges. Authors may submit their manuscripts with the assurance that, if accepted after peer review and editorial evaluation, their work will be published without any financial obligation.
All published articles are freely accessible online without subscription fees, registration barriers, or paywalls. Readers may read, download, share, and use the published content in accordance with the journal’s open-access license and copyright policy.
By maintaining a no-fee publishing model for both authors and readers, TK TechForum Journal seeks to support equitable access to scholarly communication, reduce financial barriers to publication, and promote the widest possible dissemination of research in mechanical engineering and related fields.
