Article Processing Charge (APC)
International Journal of Engineering and Technology Research & Development (IJETRD) operates as an open-access journal to ensure that published research is freely accessible to a global audience without any subscription barriers. To sustain this model, an Article Processing Charge (APC) is applied for accepted manuscripts.
What is APC?
The Article Processing Charge is a fee levied to cover the costs of:
- Editorial processes, including peer review and quality checks.
- Article production, including formatting, typesetting, and final publication.
- Long-term hosting and maintenance of articles on open-access platforms.
- Indexing and archiving in reputable databases to enhance visibility and impact.
APC Details
- The APC is $150 per accepted manuscript.
- The fee is applicable only after the manuscript is reviewed, accepted, and ready for publication.
- There are no submission charges; fees are charged solely for successful publications.
