Article Processing Charges (APC)

If a paper is accepted for publication, you will be asked to pay Article Processing Charges (APC)* to cover part of our expenses including those of journal production (copy editing, proof reading, layout preparation, etc), indexing, DOI numbering, online publishing, etc. 

APC for all types of articles: US$300* or equivalent

*Goods and Services Tax (GST): 18% extra.

Upon submission of an original research paper, authors will be asked to confirm that they take responsibility for payment of the APC. Contact us if you have any query by Email or WhatsApp chat at +91-8921928071.

* Fee waiver policy

1. Our fee waiver policy offers to reduce the publication fees for authors (particularly for masters and doctoral students) who cannot pay the full amount charged for publication, particularly from the under-developed and developing countries. Fee waiver (around 30% discount for students) will be granted automatically and authors need not apply for the waiver.

2. As per the PST journal's reviewers' policy, if a reviewer submits a manuscript for publishing in the PST journal, upto 25% discount will be given. See more details: Reviewer Resources.

Note:- Above two waiving options can not be clubbed together.
