Information about fees, payment methods, and available waivers for IJEMI authors.
The International Journal of Economics and Management Intellectuals (IJEMI) is an open-access journal, ensuring that all published articles are freely accessible to readers worldwide. To maintain the high standards of the journal and ensure maximum visibility for your research, we charge an Article Processing Charge (APC). This fee helps support the peer review process, article production, and the dissemination of your work across various academic platforms, ensuring that your research reaches a global audience.
The APC includes costs for editorial support, typesetting, formatting, hosting the article on the journal's website, and indexing in leading academic databases. Additionally, the fee contributes to the ongoing sustainability of the journal, ensuring it remains a reputable platform for high-quality research in Economics and Management.
At IJEMI, we are dedicated to providing fully open-access publication. Once your article is accepted and processed, it will be available to scholars, researchers, and professionals worldwide without paywalls or access restrictions. All articles are published under a Creative Commons (CC BY) license, allowing unlimited use, sharing, and reuse, while always giving proper credit to the original authors.
Article Processing Charge (APC) is a one-time fee that authors must pay after their manuscript has been accepted for publication. The APC helps cover various costs, including:
Note: We do not charge submission fees, nor do we apply surcharges for article length, the number of figures, or supplementary data. Certain types of content such as Editorials, Book Reviews, and Corrections may be published free of charge.
The APC for IJEMI is $56 USD per accepted article.
This fee applies to all types of articles, including research papers, reviews, case studies, and short communications.
For authors submitting special issues or articles that are part of conference proceedings, additional charges may apply, which will be communicated at the time of submission.
Depending on your geographical location, taxes may apply to the APC amount. These taxes may vary by country and are typically added to the final fee at the point of payment. Authors should check their local tax policies or consult their institution or funding bodies for potential tax exemptions.
The APC covers minor English editing by our in-house native speakers to ensure the clarity and readability of your article. However, if your manuscript requires extensive English editing, authors may be required to pay an additional fee for this service. This fee will be calculated separately and communicated to authors before the publication process begins.
We understand that some authors may face challenges in covering the APC. As part of our commitment to making high-quality research accessible, we offer APC waivers or discounts in certain cases. These waivers or discounts are available for:
Applications for APC waivers or discounts should be submitted to the managing editor before article submission. Eligibility for waivers is assessed based on the quality of the research article and the author's ability to pay.
