There is no fee for submitting the manuscript to The Proceedings, but it charges a publication fee of 2,000,000 VND or 100 USD per paper. Once the review process is completed, and the manuscript is accepted for publication, the publication fee needs to be received by The Proceedings for the accepted articles to be published. The publication fee is for The Proceedings to cover the review administration and management, professional production of articles in PDF, the paper-based production of The Proceedings, and other publication associated costs.
