Article Processing Charges
The International Journal of Physics Research and Applications aims to offer an open-access platform to publish high-quality research articles in the field of physics. To ensure the journal's sustainability and cover the costs of publishing, an Article Processing Charge (APC) is applicable for accepted manuscripts.
Article Processing Charges (APC)
The APC helps cover the costs of editorial management, peer review, article production, and hosting. This fee is charged only once the article has been accepted for publication and must be paid prior to the final publication of the article.
The current APC for the International Journal of Physics Research and Applications is:
- $2,589 USD for all types of articles.
This charge is mandatory for all accepted articles, and payment is required promptly to ensure the timely publication of the article.
Waiver Policy
The International Journal of Physics Research and Applications understands that authors from low-income countries or with financial constraints may face difficulties in paying the APC. As a result, the journal offers APC waivers on a case-by-case basis for such authors.
To request a waiver, authors must submit relevant documentation to prove financial hardship or affiliation with an institution in a low-income country. Each waiver request will be reviewed individually.
Additional Charges
In addition to the standard APC, authors may incur extra charges for the following services:
- Color Figures: There is no additional charge for publishing figures in color.
- Supplementary Materials: There is no additional fee for publishing supplementary materials like datasets, videos, or other supplementary files.
- Urgent Processing: Expedited processing of articles comes at no additional cost.
These services are optional and will only apply if requested by the author during submission. Any related fees must be paid before the article is finalized for publication.
Payment Methods
The International Journal of Physics Research and Applications accepts payments for APCs and additional charges through the following methods:
- Credit/Debit Cards: Payments can be made via Visa, MasterCard, or American Express.
- Bank Transfers: Authors can opt for international bank transfers to make payments.
- PayPal: Authors can use PayPal for secure payments.
All payments must be made in U.S. dollars (USD). Detailed instructions on how to make payments will be provided once the manuscript is accepted for publication.
Refund Policy
Once the APC is paid and the article is accepted for publication, the payment is non-refundable. However, if an article is withdrawn before it enters the peer-review process, a partial refund may be issued depending on the stage of the submission process.
