Fee Waivers or Discounts
Waivers and Discounts
For authors publishing in IJAR, publisher offers waivers and discounts to corresponding authors based in low- and lower middle-income countries and locations.1
To ensure that editorial decisions are never influenced by ability to pay, it is policy that editors are not involved in correspondence with authors regarding payment of Article Publication Charges (APCs). The automatic waiver system will be managed by administrative staff not involved in decisions regarding article acceptance. We ask authors not to discuss any issues concerning payment with editors.
ZARSMI partnership with Research4Life enables research from authors from low- and middle-income countries/locations to be published open access by providing automatic waivers and discounts on Article Publication Charges (APCs) for authors accepted to publish.
