AI and Developmental Insights in Education (AIDIE) is committed to supporting open-access scholarly communication by ensuring that high-quality research is freely available to readers worldwide. As part of our commitment to inclusivity and accessibility, AIDIE does not charge any Article Processing Charges (APCs) or submission fees.

• No submission fees: Authors are not required to pay any fees when submitting their manuscripts.
• No publication fees: Authors whose articles are accepted for publication do not incur any charges.
• No access fees: All published content is freely accessible to readers without paywalls or subscription barriers.

This policy ensures that financial constraints do not hinder the dissemination of valuable research contributions and allows researchers from all backgrounds to publish their work without monetary concerns.

The journal is sustained through:

• Institutional Funding: Support from academic institutions and research organizations that value open-access publishing.
• Sponsorships: Contributions from research bodies and industry partners committed to advancing education and AI research.
• Donations: Voluntary contributions from readers and stakeholders who wish to support the journal’s mission.
• Conference Collaborations: Partnerships with academic events where selected papers are published at no cost to authors.

These revenue sources allow AIDIE to maintain its high editorial and production standards while remaining free for both authors and readers.

AIDIE believes that knowledge should be freely shared and widely accessible. We adhere to the following open-access principles:

• Global Accessibility: Ensuring that scholars worldwide, especially those from underrepresented and resource-limited regions, have equal access to publish and read research.
• Transparency: Authors and institutions are informed of the journal's funding and sustainability policies without hidden costs.
• Quality Assurance: Despite being free of charge, AIDIE upholds rigorous peer-review and editorial processes to maintain high standards of publication.

Since AIDIE does not impose any fees, there is no need for a waiver policy. All authors, regardless of their geographical or financial status, are welcome to submit their work without concern for financial obligations.
