At Solarlits, we are committed to making high-quality research widely accessible. We firmly believe that financial constraints should never become a barrier to sharing impactful scientific discoveries with the global community.
To support our diverse network of researchers, we have designed an equitable, transparent, and author-friendly APC policy.

Submission Procedure and Automatic Waivers
We strive to guarantee a smooth and equitable publishing experience for everyone. Our waiver process is designed to be completely hassle-free:
- Indicate Your Status: Authors will be asked to simply indicate their funding status during the initial manuscript submission process.
- Automatic Application: If you declare that they do not have funding available to cover publication costs, a full waiver will be applied automatically. Your paper will be processed and published completely free of cost.
Editorial Independence
Please be assured that our editorial process is strictly separated from financial considerations. All editorial decisions are based exclusively on the scientific merit and quality of the research.
