Article Processing Charge/ Publication Fees

Article Processing Charges (APCs) are essential for the sustainability of open-access journals. These charges cover various expenses associated with the publication of an article, such as the first and second peer review editor’s fees (since it’s a double-blind peer review), server and hosting expenses, website maintenance, and lifetime article preservation.

We are among the only few journals who have scrutinize the article using Turnitin. We have to pay for expensive software like Turnitin to check for plagiarism and for CrossRef DOI registration, which is also expensive. Without these charges, journals cannot afford to maintain their online platforms, pay for the editorial and technical staff, or preserve the published content for future generations.

Therefore, APCs play a crucial role in ensuring the long-term viability of open-access journals, which offer a way to increase the visibility and impact of research by making it freely accessible to anyone with an internet connection.

• APC For Indian Authors – Rs. 1500 (for upto 5 Authors)
• APC For International Authors – USD 50 (for upto 5 Authors)
