Publishing Fee

Avestia Publishing has adopted the Open Access model for IJCI. This ensures free public access to all the articles and materials published with no subscription fees. The goal is to ensure that all readers have access to quality scholarly articles.

In the Open Access format, all publication costs are paid for by the authors. These costs are often considered part of research expenses and may be paid for or reimbursed by affiliated institutions or funding agencies. Please consider securing funding from a variety of sources for publication fees.

Avestia does not charge an article submission fee to submit an article for the possibility of publishing. Following acceptance, Avestia only charges an article processing charge (APC) in order to publish the paper.

The APC covers the entire publication process including the editorial management, peer-review, language copy-editing, typesetting, reference validation and linking, plagiarism checking software, DOI purchase, submission to indexing platforms, and online hosting.

The APC is a non-refundable processing fee of $600 CAD (plus 13% sales tax will be applied for Canadian residents and Canadian citizens; international attendees are exempted) per article, which must be paid upon acceptance of a manuscript and prior to the final publication.
