Waiver Policy

We consider individual waiver requests for articles in our journal. We do not want fees to prevent the publication of worthy work. We encourage authors to publish their papers with us and don’t wish the cost of article processing fees to be a barrier especially to authors from the low income countries/regions.  A range of discounts or waivers are offered to authors who are unable to pay our publication processing fees. Authors can write in to apply for a waiver and requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

The IJRSS journal applies a 25 % discount to authors from low-income countries classified by the World Bank, and a 20 % for reviewers who sufficiently completed the review process.

If you are from countries eligible and need to apply for a waiver please request one during the submission process to our email address  editor@ijrss.org To apply for a waiver, please,   email with the following information:

--Your name and institution with full address details
