Article Processing Charges
Article Processing Charges (APC)
At Gnoscience Group, we charge article processing fees because we operate as a self-supporting organization that does not receive funding from any institution or government. Unlike traditional publishing models, we do not charge subscription or access fees. Therefore, authors are requested to contribute to the costs incurred during the processing and publication of Open Access work.
When you contribute to the Gnoscience Open Access journal, you are funding several vital resources and tools to ensure the quality and global accessibility of your work, including:
- Plagiarism check to certify the originality of your manuscript.
- In-depth peer review and editorial feedback from experienced experts in your field.
- Professional proofreading and copyediting by our Editorial Analysts to meet publishing standards.
- Typesetting and formatting of your article for PDF publication.
- Permanent web hosting of your article, ensuring unrestricted global access.
- Indexing in applicable databases and reference services.
- DOI assignment for your article, ensuring a unique and permanent identifier for citations.
We request authors to contribute according to the following minimum publication charges:
Article Type | International Charges | INR (for Indian citizens) |
|---|---|---|
| Research and Review | $350 | INR 3,000 |
| Case Report | $220 | INR 3,000 |
| Mini Review/Short Communication/Commentary | $150 | INR 3,000 |
Note: These publication charges apply to all invited authors.
Withdrawal Policy
Authors may withdraw their manuscript at any stage after submission. There is no fee for withdrawal before the review process begins. However, if the manuscript is withdrawn after the review process has been completed, authors are required to pay 50% of the original article processing fee to cover the review and editorial efforts already undertaken.
