Article Processing Charges (APC)

The International Journal of Agricultural Research, Innovation and Technology (IJARIT) is a fully open-access journal. To cover the costs of peer review management, copyediting, typesetting, DOI registration, long-term digital archiving, and maintaining unrestricted online access for all readers globally, the journal levies an Article Processing Charge (APC) upon formal manuscript acceptance.

1. Submission Fees

Submission Fee: There are no submission fees or charges for manuscripts that are rejected during initial screening or peer review.

2. Publication Fee Structure

An APC is applied only after a manuscript has successfully completed double-blind peer review and received a formal letter of acceptance from the editorial board. After acceptance of the paper, authors will have to pay the APC for the National Authors (Bangladesh): BDT 5,000 and for the International Authors: USD 100.

No Hidden Fees: The APC is a flat rate. There are no extra charges for color figures, supplementary material, or article length/page count.

3. APC Waiver and Discount Policy

IJARIT is committed to ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder the publication of high-quality scientific research.

Low-Income Countries: Authors from countries classified by the World Bank or Research4Life as Group A (low-income economies) are eligible for automatic 100% APC waivers.

Lower-Middle-Income Countries: Authors from Group B countries may apply for a 50% partial waiver.

Hardship Waivers: Corresponding authors without institutional funding, grants, or financial support may submit an APC Waiver Application to the Executive Editor at the time of initial manuscript submission. Waiver requests submitted after acceptance will not be considered.

4. Payment Methods & Processing

Once a manuscript is accepted, the corresponding author will receive an official invoice with payment instructions. Accepted payment channels include:

International Authors: Bank Wire Transfer (SWIFT), Credit/Debit Card, or electronic international transfer platforms (e.g., Western Union, Xoom, Revolut).

National Authors: Direct Bank Deposit / Electronic Fund Transfer (BEFTN/NPSB) or authorized Mobile Financial Services (MFS). Payment instructions will be issued via an official invoice upon formal acceptance only

5. Editorial Independence & Financial Transparency

No Influence on Peer Review: Editorial decisions (Accept, Revise, or Reject) are based strictly on the scientific quality, novelty, and rigor of the research. Editors and peer reviewers have no access to authors' financial status or waiver requests, and payment status plays zero role in the evaluation or acceptance of any manuscript.
