WSEAS does not accept new authors or changes to author names after the review process or once a paper has been accepted. This policy is in place to uphold the ethics and integrity of research. WSEAS does not wish to be associated with practices in academic publishing where authorship may be purchased through online groups or social media platforms.2.The maximum page limit for each article is 10 pages. Articles exceeding this limit will incur a fee of 60 euros per additional page. This fee helps cover the extra workload required for editing and proofreading by WSEAS staff.
