IIARD Journals is committed to supporting global academic publishing, especially from researchers with limited funding.
We offer partial waivers and discounts on article processing charges (APCs) under the following conditions:
Partial Waiver Eligibility
- Authors from low-income countries or regions as classified by recognized international indexes (e.g., World Bank).
- Early-career researchers and students with no funding support.
- Requests must be submitted during or immediately after submission of the manuscript.
Available Discounts
- Bulk submissions: Discounts are offered for institutional or departmental submissions of 5 or more papers at once.
- Partner institutions: Affiliated organizations or partners may receive pre-agreed reduced APCs.
- Editorial board members may nominate authors for limited discounts.
Application Procedure
- Authors must send a formal waiver or discount request via email, including a brief explanation of their need.
- Each request will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the editorial office.
- Approval is subject to management discretion.
Note: Waivers or discounts will not affect the editorial decision-making process or peer review outcomes.
We strive to ensure that financial constraints do not prevent quality research from being published. For requests, please email
