Article Processing Charges
The Journal is self-financed and does not receive funding from any institution/government. Hence, the Journals operate solely through processing charges we receive from the authors and some academic/corporate sponsors. The handling fee is required to meet its maintenance. Being an Open Access Journal, journals do not collect subscription charges from readers that enjoy free online access to the articles. Authors are hence required to pay a fair handling fee for processing their articles.
There is no submission charges by the Authors for submitting the manuscript.
An Article Processing Charge (APC) is payable only after acceptance of the manuscript for publication. The APC supports editorial processing, DOI registration, online hosting, archiving, and production. Current APC: INR 3500 for authors based in India and USD 70 for international authors. Print copies, where requested, are charged separately.
Conflict of Interests
It is important to consider this carefully. If you don’t declare a conflict of interest and you are subsequently found to have one your paper will lose credibility. Conversely, full disclosure of conflict of interest does not prevent a paper being published but does allow you to be open with your readers. This section should list specific competing interests associated with all of the authors.
Abbreviations
Please keep abbreviations to a minimum. List all non-standard abbreviations in alphabetical order, along with their expanded form. Define them as well upon first use in the text. Non-standard abbreviations should not be used unless they appear at least three times in the text.
