Author Charge

International Journal of Research in Vocational Studies (IJRVOCAS) is committed to maintaining transparency in publication fees.

There is no article submission fee. Authors are not required to pay any fee when submitting a manuscript to the journal.

For accepted manuscripts, an Article Processing Charge (APC) applies to support editorial management, online publication, DOI registration, website maintenance, metadata management, long-term archiving, and journal development.

The Article Processing Charge (APC) for an accepted manuscript is USD 100.

The APC is payable only after the manuscript has completed the peer-review process and has been officially accepted for publication. Payment of the APC does not influence editorial decisions, peer-review results, or the acceptance of manuscripts.

IJRVOCAS may provide APC waivers or reductions for authors who do not have institutional or research funding, particularly authors from low-income or lower-middle-income countries, students, and independent researchers. Waiver requests must be submitted to the editorial office before or during the submission process. Waiver decisions are made independently from editorial decisions.

There is no fast-track publication fee. All manuscripts are processed according to the journal’s standard editorial and peer-review procedures.
