Insights: International Journal of Humanities, Management, and Social Sciences (IIJHMSS), published by the Global Heritage Research Center for Languages and Literature, is devoted to promoting quality academic research through its open-access publishing model. This model ensures that all published articles are freely and permanently available to a global audience, without paywalls or access restrictions. The journal’s open-access commitment facilitates the rapid and unrestricted dissemination of scholarly work, benefiting both researchers and the broader academic community.
To sustain its operations and uphold high editorial standards, the journal relies on Article Publication Charges (APC). These charges support the essential costs associated with manuscript processing, including peer review coordination, editorial management, typesetting, digital archiving, indexing, and website maintenance. Furthermore, a portion of the APC compensates peer reviewers for their time and expertise, acknowledging their crucial role in maintaining the scholarly quality and integrity of the journal.
Financial Policy
IIJHMSS ensures equal publishing opportunities for scholars from all backgrounds by not requiring any fee at the time of submission. This approach removes economic barriers for authors during the initial stage of review and encourages submissions from a diverse range of researchers, regardless of financial status.
The Article Publication Charge (APC) is applicable only after a manuscript has successfully completed the double-blind peer review process and has been formally accepted for publication. This policy ensures that authors are charged only once they receive editorial services and a commitment to publication.
APC Structure
- For National Authors (within Pakistan): PKR 20000
- For International Authors: USD 70
Payment Instructions
After acceptance, the corresponding author will receive a formal invoice outlining the applicable APC. The invoice will include detailed instructions for payment, including available methods and bank details, to ensure a smooth and transparent process. Authors are encouraged to complete the payment promptly to avoid publication delays.
The APC model adopted by IIJHMSS is vital to sustaining open-access availability and operational excellence. By aligning financial responsibilities with post-acceptance services, the journal ensures fairness, academic quality, and the broad dissemination of knowledge on a global scale.
