Since 2010, the year it was founded in AJIT-e, the journal secretariat, editors and referees voluntarily carry out the whole process. However, the server and domain costs, Crossref membership fees and article registration fees received by Crossref on each DOI record, and many more costs, require the support of authors. For this reason, Society of Academic Research on Informatics has been established to continue the existence of our journal, which has been published for more than 10 years. Students and young academics are supported, and scientific activities are organized by the association, especially the publication of the journal. In this context, 500 Turkish Lira Article Processing Charge (APC) was decided from articles. The editorial board of the journal is waiting for your support in this regard.
