    Purpose of APC
    The collected APC will be utilized to support:
    • Journal maintenance and improvement of publication quality
    • Editorial and peer-review management processes
    • Website operation and system development
    • Indexing and archiving services
    • Long-term sustainability of EPD as an open-access scholarly platform
