  • Article Processing Charge Information

    2024-02-12

    Article processing charge (APC) is required to support journal-related activities. However, due to the high number of submitted manuscripts to the Inclusive Society and Sustainability Studies (ISSUES) recently, we need more journal activities to keep the quality of the journal.

    Therefore, the Publisher will apply the article processing charge for the Inclusive Society and Sustainability Studies (ISSUES) USD 75 for each accepted paper which submitted after January 16th, 2024.

    We recognize the significance of your contributions to our journal, and the APC will be utilized to support various editorial processes and overall journal maintenance. However, as a gesture of support for the research community, the chosen manuscript will receive a waiver provided by Research Synergy Foundation, as an appreciation for authors dedicated to building their best papers and research.

    To be selected as the chosen manuscript, ISSUES has established certain requirements:

    • Authors must be responsive throughout the publication process, including promptly responding to the Editorial Team's emails and adhering to the timeline and deadlines set by the editorial team.
    • The paper's quality must meet the standards outlined by ISSUES's Editorial Team.
    • The submitted paper must comply with the "Author Guidelines" as outlined by the team here.

    We appreciate your understanding and continued support as we strive to maintain ISSUES's excellence. Should you have any questions or concerns regarding this change, please do not hesitate to reach out to our editorial team.

    Thank you for selecting ISSUES as the platform for your research.

    Regards,
