ARTICLE PROCESSING  CHARGE (APC)

Authors are required to pay a processing fee after the acceptance of the article. Fee details for authors with affiliation details from India and overseas are specified. Extra fees may be charged based on additional editing work, complexity of tables/figures, and more pages. The final publication fee will be communicated to the corresponding author post-acceptance.  

NOTE: The above guidelines ensure a standardized format for manuscript submission, fostering transparency and efficient processing. 

The Scientific Professional Journal of Multidisciplinary Science (SPJMSP) embraces a fully open-access model, ensuring unrestricted utilization and reuse of all published articles while duly acknowledging the authors. To sustain this model, authors are required to cover a one-time Article Processing Charge (APC), encompassing expenses related to peer review administration, article production in PDF and other formats, dissemination of papers across various platforms, and other publishing functions. No fees are imposed for rejected submissions, and there are no additional charges based on article length, figures, or supplementary data. Article Processing Charge (APC) is applicable upon acceptance for publication, ensuring the sustainability of this open-access approach.

  • Foreign Authors: 32 USD (30 USD for APC and 2 USD for transaction charges).
  • Indian Authors: INR 1770/- (INR 1500 for APC and INR 270 for GST @18%).

Once an article is assigned a volume, issue number, and DOI, changes will be implemented only after payment of applicable charges, equivalent to 50% of the article processing fees. Authors have the option to pay via Direct Deposit or online methods like net banking, NEFT, or IMPS.

Notably, payments by cheque or demand draft are not accepted.
