Article Processing Charges (APC)

Journal follows a transparent and affordable publication-fee policy. Authors are informed of any applicable charges before publication, and editorial decisions are made independently of an author’s ability to pay.

Article Processing Charge: The journal may charge an APC for accepted articles to support manuscript processing, peer review administration, website maintenance, copyediting, typesetting, online hosting, and long-term preservation.

Local: PKRs. 20,000

International: USD 99 per accepted article

No submission fee is charged, and payment is requested only after a manuscript has been accepted for publication. The APC does not influence the peer-review or editorial decision.

Authors who are unable to pay the full APC may contact the editorial office to request a partial or full waiver, particularly where financial circumstances or institutional limitations justify such a request.

Important: There are no additional charges based on the number of pages, figures, tables, or references unless explicitly stated by the journal.
