Open-access publication
The charge supports publication of an accepted article as immediate open access under the journal’s stated copyright and licence information.
Author information
Article Processing Charges
IJPR is open access. The standard article processing charge is requested only after a manuscript has been formally accepted; there is no charge to submit or to have a manuscript peer reviewed.

Fee coverage
What the standard APC covers
The current IJPR APC information describes a single standard fee rather than a published schedule by article type.
Production and article record
The current fee information identifies production work, DOI registration and article metadata as part of the standard publication charge.
Figures and supporting material
Current IJPR APC information states that colour figures, supplementary material and standard publication enhancements do not carry a separate charge.
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
The IJPR material reviewed for this page does not publish a journal-specific schedule for tax, VAT/GST, bank or intermediary charges, currency conversion, or payment methods. Authors should request written billing confirmation for any of these points 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.
No published IJPR waiver schedule
This page does not establish a guaranteed IJPR waiver percentage or automatic eligibility rule. Published membership discounts and institutional arrangements, where applicable, are governed by their own terms; do not assume eligibility or a particular reduction.
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.
Changes and refunds
Withdrawal, refunds and duplicate payment
The terms below are stated plainly because they may affect an author’s decision to submit or withdraw a manuscript.
Withdrawal requests in the first three days
Current published terms state that a withdrawal request made within the first three days after submission is free of charge.
Later withdrawal requests
Current published terms state that a withdrawal or processing charge of 30% of the applicable APC may apply after the first three days. Authors should read the current terms and obtain written confirmation before withdrawing.
Rejected manuscripts
Because the APC is requested only after formal acceptance, a rejected manuscript does not incur the standard APC.
Refunds and overpayments
Current published terms state that APC payments are non-refundable. For duplicate or overpayments, the stated remedy is a credit toward a future Open Access Pub publication; contact billing support for written confirmation.
Read the controlling terms
The journal’s fee information should be read with the publisher’s Terms and Conditions and article processing charge policy. If these pages differ, request clarification from billing support before making a payment or withdrawal decision.
