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.

Benefits of Paying APC

  1. Global Visibility: Your research will be freely available to a worldwide audience, increasing its reach and potential impact.
  2. Rapid Publication: Timely processing ensures that your work is published promptly.
  3. Open Access: No paywalls mean your work is accessible to researchers, professionals, and the public without restrictions.
  4. Indexing and Archiving: Your article will be indexed in leading databases, ensuring long-term discoverability and citation opportunities.

Discounts and Waivers

  • IJETRD offers discounts or full waivers to authors from low-income countries or under exceptional circumstances. Requests for waivers must be made during the submission process and will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Payment Process

  • Upon acceptance of the manuscript, authors will receive an email with payment instructions and a secure payment link.
  • Payment must be completed before the article is published.
