Anyone may share and adapt the work for any purpose, including commercially, provided appropriate credit is given to the original authors and the source, a link to the licence is provided, and any changes are indicated.

Article processing charges

Readers never pay to access RDPub journals. The Journal of Digital Intelligence and Knowledge Discovery (JDIKD) charges no article processing charge. The International Journal of Theoretical & Applied Computational Intelligence (IJTACI) charges none for manuscripts submitted before 1 January 2028; from that date an APC of US$250 applies to accepted articles, with waivers based on the Research4Life country groups.
