Waiver & Discount Policy
We do not want fees to be a barrier to publishing rigorous research. The following waiver schemes are available — apply at the time of submission.
Low-Income Country Waiver
Authors from countries on the World Bank low-income list receive a 100% waiver on all charges. Apply via the submission form's "Waiver Request" field.
Need-Based Discount
Authors facing genuine financial hardship may apply for a 25–50% discount. Decisions are made on a case-by-case basis by the editorial board.
Co-Authored Manuscripts
When co-authors are split across tiers, the highest-tier rate applies (e.g. one international and one Indian author pays the international rate).
Refund Policy
Charges are non-refundable once the article has been published. If publication is withdrawn at the author's request before going live, the publication fee (but not the processing fee) is refunded in full.
