Article Processing Charge (APC)

The International Journal of Computer Science and Information Technology Research (IJCSITR) operates under a fully open access publishing model, governed by the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License. This means that all articles published in our journals are immediately and permanently accessible to everyone, free of charge. To sustain this model, an article processing charge (APC) is collected from authors, institutions, or research funding bodies to cover various publishing services:

  • Editorial Work: This encompasses peer review, administrative support, content commissioning, and journal development.
  • Technical Infrastructure and Innovation: This involves the development, maintenance, and operation of our online journal systems and websites.
  • Article Production: This includes the formatting and markup of articles and their inclusion in indexing services.
  • Marketing: Marketing efforts ensure that readers and authors are aware of the work published in our journals.
  • Customer Service: We prioritize providing excellent customer service, ensuring authors and readers receive prompt assistance.

The International Journal of Computer Science and Information Technology Research (IJCSITR) is committed to transparency regarding publication costs. Therefore, the APC is clearly displayed on its website:

Article Processing Charge (APC): $100 (USD) or Rs. 8,400 (INR)

Payment Responsibility

Upon editorial acceptance of an article, the corresponding author will receive notification regarding payment. The APC is typically covered by the author, funder, institution, or employer.

Payment Process

The corresponding or submitting author is responsible for arranging payment of the APC. Following peer review, once a manuscript receives editorial acceptance in principle, the APC becomes payable, and formatting checks on the manuscript begin. Upon completion of formatting checks and receipt of payment, the article will be published.

We offer multiple payment methods, including online transfer, UPI, GPay, and Phonepe, to facilitate payment for authors' convenience.
