Revenue Sources Policy

International Journal of Research in Vocational Studies (IJRVOCAS) is committed to maintaining transparency regarding its sources of revenue and financial support.

The journal’s revenue and operational support may come from Article Processing Charges (APC), publisher support, institutional support, journal development support, and other legitimate sources related to scholarly publishing and journal management.

Article Processing Charges are used to support editorial management, online publication, DOI registration, metadata management, website maintenance, digital preservation, indexing preparation, and long-term journal development.

Revenue sources do not influence editorial decisions, peer-review outcomes, manuscript acceptance, publication timing, or the academic content of published articles. All manuscripts submitted to IJRVOCAS are evaluated based on academic quality, originality, relevance, methodological soundness, ethical compliance, and contribution to the journal’s aims and scope.

The publisher, editorial team, sponsors, supporting institutions, or any other parties must not interfere with the journal’s editorial independence or peer-review process.

IJRVOCAS does not guarantee manuscript acceptance, fast-track publication, citation advantage, or indexing inclusion in exchange for payment, sponsorship, or financial support.

The journal is committed to ensuring that all financial matters are handled transparently, responsibly, and independently from editorial decision-making.
