Article Processing Charges

Research publication should not be behind paywalls. This is why the International Journal of Chemical Science and Research (IJCSR) is being run on an open-access basis - to ensure that your work is accessible to the readers worldwide, entirely free of charge.

This is our pricing model, here we charge an Article Processing Charge (APC) of USD 500 per paper though only when your paper has been accepted. Yes, that is, no money to enter your work with us.

What does the $500 cover?

You make a payment to the APC and you are making an investment in quality. This fee goes toward:

Severe peer review by people in your field.
Editing and formatting by professionals.
International publication in the online format.
Archive forever so that your research wins the test of time.

Upon successful passing of your manuscript through the green light we will issue payment directives to the relevant author. It is simple and there are no secret charges or unexpected expenses in the middle of the journey.

Need financial assistance?

We understand, it may be a tight budget and may happen to early-career researchers or researchers at an institution with limited means. We can be pleased to take partial or even complete APC waivers in some situations. Our editorial board considers them on a case-by-case basis, so do not be afraid to contact us in case you find yourself in a fix.

We are sure that excellent science is worth sharing at IJCSR. We aim at enabling that to occur without creating financial hindrances to researchers who are pushing the frontiers of chemical science.
