Mandatory AI usage statement and publication fee increase starting 2026

We would like to inform all authors that, effective from the beginning of 2026, it will be mandatory to include a statement regarding the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-assistants in the preparation of all submitted manuscripts. This statement must disclose any AI tools or assistants used in the writing, editing, or research process.

Additionally, please be informed that the publication fee will be 15,000,000 for Iranian authors, and 50 USD + VAT for non-Iranian authors as per the new guidelines. This adjustment will help support the continued development of the journal and maintain high-quality standards.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
