AI and Developmental Insights in Education (AIDIE) is a fully open-access journal that does not charge Article Processing Charges (APCs) or submission fees. The journal is committed to providing free and unrestricted access to high-quality research, ensuring that financial barriers do not hinder knowledge dissemination. To sustain its operations and maintain the quality of its publications, AIDIE relies on multiple revenue sources.

AIDIE receives financial support from universities, research institutions, and funding organizations that value open-access publishing. These contributions help cover operational costs such as editorial management, peer review processing, and digital platform maintenance.

b. Sponsorships and Partnerships

The journal partners with academic institutions, professional associations, and industry stakeholders who provide sponsorship in support of our open-access mission. Sponsors may receive recognition through acknowledgments in journal publications, conference events, and collaborative research initiatives, ensuring alignment with the journal’s ethical policies.

AIDIE collaborates with academic conferences, seminars, and workshops by publishing selected high-quality papers from these events. Financial support from conference organizers helps sustain the journal while enhancing its scholarly impact.

d. Advertising Revenue

Carefully selected advertisements related to AI, education, and psychology are accepted from universities, research centers, and educational technology companies. All advertisements are reviewed to ensure they align with the journal’s scope and ethical values.

e. Voluntary Contributions and Donations

AIDIE welcomes voluntary contributions from authors, readers, and institutions who wish to support open-access academic publishing. These donations help maintain the journal’s sustainability and continuous development.

f. Subscription for Print Copies

While AIDIE provides all content online for free, print copies of journal issues are available for purchase by libraries and institutions. Revenue generated from print subscriptions contributes to covering printing and distribution costs.

AIDIE firmly believes that financial constraints should not prevent authors from sharing their research with a global audience. Therefore, the journal follows a "No APCs" policy, ensuring:

• Free Submission and Publication: Authors are not required to pay any fees for manuscript processing, peer review, or publication.
• Unrestricted Access: Readers worldwide can freely access all published content without subscription fees.
• Inclusivity: Encouragement of submissions from researchers in developing countries or those with limited funding.

Authors can submit their work with the assurance that there are no hidden charges, and publication is based solely on scholarly merit.

To ensure financial sustainability while maintaining editorial independence, AIDIE adheres to the following principles:

• Transparency: All financial support sources are clearly disclosed to avoid conflicts of interest.
• Independence: Revenue sources, such as sponsorships and donations, do not influence editorial decisions or journal content.
• Ethical Advertising: Only relevant and ethically sound advertisements are accepted.

AIDIE's financial management is regularly reviewed to uphold these values.

Revenue generated from the above sources is utilized to:

• Cover editorial and peer-review management.
• Maintain and develop the journal's website and digital infrastructure.
• Ensure long-term archiving and indexing in academic databases.
