Article Publishing Charge (APC)
JASIM applies an Article Publishing Charge (APC) to support the editorial, peer-review, production, hosting, and maintenance of the journal's open-access publishing services.
The applicable APC and payment provisions are published separately on the Article Processing Charge (APC) page of JASIM. Authors are encouraged to review the APC policy before submitting a manuscript.
Waiver Policy
JASIM recognizes that publication fees may create financial barriers for some authors. Authors who experience genuine financial difficulties may request an APC waiver or reduction in accordance with the journal's applicable waiver policy.
Requests for an APC waiver or reduction should be submitted to the journal according to the procedures specified in the APC policy. Requests should be made before or at the time required by the journal and should include an appropriate explanation of the financial circumstances.
Eligibility for an APC waiver or reduction will not influence the peer-review process or editorial decision-making. Editorial decisions are based solely on the academic quality, originality, relevance, research integrity, and compliance of the manuscript with JASIM's editorial policies.
Permanent and Immediate Access
Once an article is published, it is made immediately available through the JASIM online journal platform. JASIM is committed to maintaining access to its published scholarly content and supporting the long-term availability of the journal's academic record.
Open access to JASIM articles does not mean that the content is free from copyright protection. All reuse must comply with the applicable Creative Commons license and the rights retained by the authors.
