Fee coverage
What the standard APC covers
The same standard APC applies to accepted IJPR articles regardless of manuscript category.
Production and article record
The charge supports production work, DOI registration, online hosting and article metadata for the accepted publication.
Figures and supporting material
Colour figures, supplementary material and standard publication enhancements are included when they are part of the accepted article.
What is not offered
The APC does not purchase acceptance, priority handling, a faster review, indexing, citations or any editorial advantage.
After acceptance
Payment and billing
Payment is part of the publication process only after an editorial decision to accept.
Editorial decision
Editors assess the manuscript through the stated Single-blind (double-blind on request) process. APC payment is not considered in that decision.
Billing information
After formal acceptance, authors receive publication and billing information through the journal’s established process.
Publication arrangements
Payment matters are handled separately from editorial assessment. Contact billing support if written clarification is needed before payment.
Tax, bank charges and payment methods
Authors who need details about tax, VAT/GST, bank or intermediary charges, currency conversion, or payment methods should request written billing confirmation before payment.
Financial support
Waivers and discounts
Support requests are considered separately from the editorial process. They do not affect reviewer selection, editorial assessment or acceptance.
Case-by-case consideration
IJPR states that fee assistance may be considered case by case for authors without funding. The publisher’s APC policy also describes consideration of partial waivers in certain circumstances.
Waiver schedule
Waiver requests are considered individually. IJPR does not publish an automatic waiver amount or eligibility schedule. Published membership discounts and institutional arrangements, where applicable, are governed by their own terms.
How to ask
For a waiver or billing-support question, contact the editorial office with the manuscript details and the information needed to assess the request.
Editorial independence
Waiver requests and APC payments are handled apart from scholarly assessment. A decision is based on the manuscript’s merit and compliance with the journal’s requirements.
Withdrawal terms
Withdrawing a manuscript
Read these terms before withdrawing a manuscript or submitting it elsewhere.
Within three days of submission
Withdrawal requests made within three days of submission are free of charge.
After three days
After three days, a withdrawal or processing charge of 30% of the applicable APC applies. Obtain official written confirmation before resubmitting the manuscript elsewhere.
Rejected manuscripts
Because the APC is requested only after formal acceptance, a rejected manuscript does not incur the standard APC.
Need clarification?
For a manuscript-specific withdrawal or billing question, contact the editorial office before taking action.
Written confirmation
Use the publisher’s Terms and Conditions and contact billing support if a written confirmation is needed.
