Article Processing Charges

The Journal of South Asian Issues (JSAI) charges an Article Processing Charge (APC) of $100, which covers manuscripts up to 20 pages in length.

For accepted manuscripts exceeding this length, an additional fee of $10 per page will apply.

This fee ensures full open access to your article upon publication, covering all associated editorial and production costs, DOI assignment, and online hosting.

Waiver Policy

The journal is committed to supporting inclusive academic publishing. Authors who are unable to pay article processing charges (APCs) due to financial constraints may request a waiver. Waivers are considered on a case-by-case basis, particularly for authors from low-income countries or those without institutional funding.

To apply for a waiver, authors must submit a formal request at the time of submission, explaining their financial circumstances. Decisions will be made promptly and will not affect the peer-review process.
