SUṢAMĀ : Multidisciplinary Research Journal
Article Processing Charge (APC)
Our journal operates as an Open Access and printed publication. Our mission is to make high-quality research freely available to all, while also ensuring a permanent, tangible printed version.
To achieve this without charging subscription fees to readers, we follow an Article Processing Charge (APC) model to cover the costs of publication. This charge helps us maintain the consistent quality of our journal's production, printing, and distribution.
The APC covers the following essential costs:
- Peer Review Management: Handling a robust and impartial peer-review process to ensure the quality and reliability of the research.
- Editing & Formatting: Professional editing, proofreading, and layout to ensure a flawless version for both online and print formats.
- Printing & Distribution: The costs associated with high-quality printing of each article and the distribution of the journal's printed copies to various libraries, institutions, and subscribers both domestically and internationally.
- Online Hosting & Archiving: Hosting articles on the journal's website, server maintenance, and ensuring their long-term digital preservation.
- Administrative Overhead: Other necessary administrative and operational costs involved in running the journal.
Current APC
The current Article Processing Charge for each accepted and published article is 1200/- Rupees (One Thousand Two Hundred Rupees Only). This fee is due only after your manuscript has successfully completed the peer-review process and has been officially accepted for publication.
Important Note
- The payment of this APC does not influence the peer-review process or the editorial decision. The evaluation of every manuscript is strictly based on its academic merit.
- Detailed instructions on how to submit the payment will be provided via email once your article has been accepted.
We believe this model allows our journal to fulfill its mission of producing high-quality publications and contributing to the open dissemination of knowledge.
