Financial Support

The publication costs for the Studies in Educational Management (SEM) are fully subsidized by our publisher, EUROKD Egitim danismanlik group, in collaboration with our various sponsors. This financial support ensures that high-quality research remains accessible to everyone without financial barriers. 

This financial model is made possible through the generous support of our institutional sponsors. Through formal agreements with the Australian International Academic Centre (AIAC, Agreement No. 10.11.9854), EMSEI (Agreement No. 119/432), and the Business Education Department of EUROKD, our essential operational costs are fully subsidized. These sponsorships cover the expenses associated with Digital Object Identifier (DOI) registration, digital archiving, plagiarism detection software, and other vital infrastructure requirements.

However, because the journal operates on a strictly limited budget provided by these sponsors, our financial and operational capacities are constrained. Consequently, SEM operates on a biannually publication schedule and is limited to publishing a maximum of 5 to 6 articles per issue. This restriction ensures that we can maintain rigorous quality control and high editorial standards for every published manuscript without exceeding our funding limits.  

Article Processing Charges (APC)

This journal is fully open access and operates with a “Diamond Open Access” model, meaning it is completely free for authors and readers. There are no fees associated with any stage of the publication process, including submitting, editing, text formatting, peer-review, article archiving and indexing, site administration (on-site hosting), customers’ support.
