Article Processing Charges (APC) / Fee Policy

The International Journal of Modern Trends and Emerging Research follows a transparent Article Processing Charges (APC) policy to support the editorial, peer review, production, online publication, and long-term maintenance of published articles. The journal is committed to ensuring that publication decisions are based solely on academic merit and are independent of the payment of any publication fee.

Article Processing Charges

An Article Processing Charge (APC) is applicable only after a manuscript has successfully completed the peer review process and has been formally accepted for publication. Authors are informed of the applicable publication fee only after acceptance.

The APC covers services including editorial processing, peer review management, manuscript production, online publication, DOI registration (where applicable), website hosting, and long-term digital accessibility.

No Submission Fee

The International Journal of Modern Trends and Emerging Research does not charge any fee for manuscript submission or for the peer review process. Authors may submit their manuscripts for editorial evaluation without any initial payment.

Editorial Independence

Payment of the Article Processing Charge does not guarantee acceptance or publication. Editorial decisions are made solely on the originality, quality, significance, and ethical standards of the submitted research.

Fee Information

The applicable Article Processing Charges are published on the journal's official website and may be revised periodically. Authors are advised to refer to the latest fee structure before submitting their manuscripts.

Refund Policy

Once an article has been accepted and the publication process has commenced, the Article Processing Charge is generally non-refundable. Refund requests, if any, will be considered only under exceptional circumstances at the discretion of the editorial office.

Waivers and Discounts

Any fee waivers or discounts, where applicable, are granted solely at the discretion of the editorial office based on the journal's policies. The availability of a waiver or discount does not influence the editorial or peer review process.

Policy Review

The International Journal of Modern Trends and Emerging Research periodically reviews its Article Processing Charges (APC) policy to ensure transparency, fairness, and compliance with internationally accepted publishing standards.
