The International Journal of Human Rights Law and Research (IJHRLR) operates under a complete open-access publishing model, ensuring that all published articles are freely accessible to scholars, researchers, and the general public worldwide. To sustain this model and maintain our high publishing standards, we charge a one-time Article Processing Charge (APC) for manuscripts accepted after a thorough peer-review process.
Why an Article Processing Charge (APC) Is Necessary?
Unlike traditional journals that rely on subscription fees paid by readers or institutional libraries, IJHRLR eliminates access barriers through its open-access model. This approach requires us to recover operational costs directly from authors. The APC enables us to:
- Manage editorial and peer-review activities
- Maintain and host our website
- Cover domain registration and maintenance costs
- Support indexing and Impact Factor-related services
Article Processing Charge (APC) Structure
- Indian Authors (Up to 2 Authors): ₹850
- Co-Authored Manuscripts (3 Authors): ₹1,500
- Foreign Authors: $25
Key Points About APC
- No charges are applied at the time of submission.
- The Article Processing Charge (APC) is only payable after your manuscript is accepted for publication following IJHRLR’s rigorous peer-review process.
By contributing to the APC, authors support IJHRLR’s mission to provide a seamless publishing experience, ensure global access to research, and uphold excellence in human rights law scholarship. This model enables us to deliver impactful research to a worldwide audience without any subscription barriers.
