Article Processing Charges

The charge levied for each manuscript of any type upon acceptance is $ 720 USD. This is a flat charge and no other extra charges are applicable.

We publish articles of type - Research, Review, Thesis,  Editorial, Case report, Literature review, Short communication, Letter, Conference proceedings.

FAQ on APC:

Editors and reviewers have no access to these details, and hence an inability to pay will not influence the decision to publish a paper.

Why is Article Processing Charges (APC) collected?

Publishing process is definitely not free of cost, but in open access the research articles are available for free of charge. This implies that we need to incur some amount of fee to keep our process going. It’s the reason we collect open access charges which helps us to cover the processing expenses for various activities like review process handling, indexing, cross reference, manpower, technical team, communication support, basic office expenditure, etc.,. In spite of all our expenses we tend to keep our fee balanced both for our users and the publishing house. Also please note that this charge will be levied only for the accepted manuscripts, there are no submission charges

Is there any withdrawal charge?

Withdrawal of manuscripts after the first round decision is made incurs minimum charge of $150. Kindly make note of this before you submit your manuscript. However withdrawal before an editor agrees to handle your manuscript does not incur any charges. You may not submit elsewhere without official withdrawal of manuscript and it will be considered ethical misconduct if you do so and will be dealt accordingly.
