Open Access Fees and Funding

Viswam Publications is committed to the long-term preservation of scholarly research and ensuring that it is accessible to the global community without barriers. As an Open Access publisher, we do not charge readers or institutions for accessing our published articles.

Article Processing Charges (APC): To maintain the quality of the peer-review process, website maintenance, and DOI assignments, an Article Processing Charge (APC) is applicable upon the acceptance of a manuscript.

• For Authors from Low and Middle Income Countries : INR 2000 (Inclusive of all taxes)/USD 25

• For Authors from High Income Countries: USD 755.

Funding and Waivers: We believe that lack of funds should not prevent the publication of high-quality research.

• Waiver Policy: Authors from low-income economies or students with proven financial constraints may apply for a partial waiver (10% to 20%) during the submission process.

• Institutional Funding: We encourage authors to utilize research grants from their respective universities or funding agencies (e.g., UGC, CSIR, NIH) to cover APCs.
