The Editorial Board of the journal Computer Technologies of Printing, recognizing its responsibility for the development of future intellectual capital, implements a policy of full financial support for young researchers.
Waiver Provision: In alignment with the journal's mission to facilitate the professional growth of research personnel, the Editorial Board provides a complete waiver of any fees (administrative charges) for the processing, peer review, and publication of scientific articles submitted by third-level higher education applicants (PhD students) enrolled in state-funded programs.
Key Eligibility Criteria:
- Sole Authorship: The waiver applies exclusively to manuscripts authored solely by the PhD student, without co-authors. This requirement is intended to verify the young scholar's capacity for conducting independent research and articulating their own scientific findings.
- Academic Compliance: The manuscript must successfully undergo the double-blind peer review process and plagiarism screening on a general basis, ensuring the high quality of the published results.
Rationale for the Policy:
- Encouraging Independence: The requirement for sole authorship is critical for the defense of a dissertation, as it serves as primary evidence of the applicant's individual contribution to solving a scientific problem.
- Removing Financial Barriers: We aim to ensure that talented researchers fulfilling state-funded mandates have the opportunity to publish their findings in a specialized professional journal without additional financial burden.
- Continuity of Scientific Schools: Supporting state-funded PhD students fosters the preservation and advancement of scientific schools within the fields of publishing, printing technologies, and computer science, ensuring a flow of fresh ideas into the global research environment.
