Article Processing Charge (APC)

International Journal of Finance (IJFIN) follows a fully open access publishing model under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License. All articles published in our journals will be immediately and permanently free to access by everyone. This is made possible by an article processing charge (APC) collected from authors and institutions or research funding bodies to cover the costs associated with various publishing services:

Editorial Work: This includes peer review, administrative support, content commissioning, and journal development.

Technical Infrastructure and Innovation: This involves the development, maintenance, and operation of our online journal systems and websites.

Article Production: This process includes the formatting and markup of articles and their inclusion in indexing services.

Marketing: Ensuring that readers and authors are aware of the work published in our journals is crucial, hence marketing is a key component of our expenses.

Customer Service: Our team is always ready to respond to authors and readers, maintaining a high standard of customer service.

International Journal of Finance (IJFIN) is committed to making publication costs as clear as possible. Therefore, APC is transparently displayed on its website.

Who is Responsible for Paying the Article Processing Charges?
Upon editorial acceptance of an article, the corresponding author will be notified about the payment issue. The charge is typically covered by the author, funder, institution, or employer.

When and How do Authors Pay?
The corresponding or submitting author needs to arrange payment of the article processing charge. Following peer review, once a manuscript has received editorial acceptance in principle, the article processing charge becomes payable and formatting checks on the manuscript will commence. Once formatting checks are completed, and payment of the article processing charge has been received, the article will be published.
