Article Processing Charges (APC) Policy

At IIP: World Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences, we uphold the principle that scholarly knowledge should be accessible to all—without financial barriers for authors or readers. As part of our commitment to equitable academic publishing, we do not charge any Article Processing Charges (APCs) for publishing in our journal.

✅ 1. No Fees for Authors

  • Zero APCs: Authors are not required to pay for manuscript submission, peer review, or publication.

  • Our free-to-publish model ensures that financial limitations do not prevent valuable research from reaching a global audience.

  • Both early-career and established researchers from all regions and institutions are welcome to submit without cost.

✅ 2. Promoting Open and Inclusive Access

We believe in true open access, which means:

  • All published articles are freely and permanently available online to readers worldwide.

  • Our platform supports a fair and inclusive academic ecosystem, particularly for researchers from underrepresented or low-resource settings.

✅ 3. Sustainable Publishing Model

To uphold quality without APCs, IIP: World Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences is supported by alternative revenue channels, including:

  • Institutional support

  • Academic and cultural sponsorships

  • Educational grants and research partnerships

  • Ethical and relevant advertising

These strategies allow us to maintain rigorous editorial standards, peer-review integrity, and long-term digital access—without transferring costs to contributors.

At IIP: World Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences, we are proud to be part of a growing movement toward non-commercial, scholar-led publishing, where research is freely shared for the benefit of the global academic community.
