Article Processing Fees for German International Journals

Journal of Multidisciplinary Sciences and Innovations (JMSI) and International Journal of Political Sciences and Economics (IJPSE) are both open-access, double-blind peer-reviewed journals. To support the high-quality publishing process, maintain journal operations, and ensure that all research is freely available worldwide, we charge an Article Processing Fee (APC) for accepted manuscripts.

1. Article Processing Fees (APC)

  • Fee Amount:

    • The APC for both JMSI and IJPSE is $250 per accepted article.
    • The APC covers the costs associated with the editorial process, peer review, copyediting, typesetting, and online publication of the article.

  • When is the APC Paid?

    • The APC is due after a manuscript is accepted for publication. Authors will receive a notification upon acceptance along with instructions on how to make the payment.
    • The payment is required before the article is published in the journal.

2. Fee Waivers and Discounts

  • Fee Waivers:

    • Fee waivers may be available on a case-by-case basis for authors from low-income countries or those facing financial hardship. Authors seeking a waiver should contact the editorial office at the time of submission to request consideration.

  • Discounts for Institutional Partnerships:

    • Authors from institutions that have a partnership with JMSI or IJPSE may be eligible for a discount on the APC. Please check with the editorial office to confirm eligibility.

  • Special Discounts:

    • Periodically, the journals may offer special discounts or promotions, which will be communicated to authors through the journal website or via direct email.

3. Payment Methods

  • Payment Process:
    • Once an article is accepted, authors will be provided with detailed instructions on how to complete the APC payment through our secure online payment system.
  • Accepted Payment Methods:
    • Payments can be made via credit card, PayPal, or bank transfer, depending on the preferences of the author and the journal's payment processing system.

4. No Hidden Charges

  • Comprehensive APC Coverage:
    • The APC covers the entire publishing process, including:
      • Editorial handling and peer review process.
      • Copyediting and typesetting.
      • Online publication and dissemination.
      • Archiving and indexing in open-access databases.
  • No Additional Fees:
    • There are no additional hidden charges for the publication of an article once the APC is paid. Authors will not be charged extra for supplementary materials, figures, or color images.
