Publication Fees
The International Journal of Advances in Soft Computing and its Applications (IJASCA) is committed to disseminating high-quality scholarly research through a Fully Open Access publishing model. All published articles are made immediately and permanently accessible to readers worldwide without subscription or access barriers.
Authors are not required to pay any Article Submission Fee. Manuscripts may be submitted, undergo editorial assessment, and complete the peer-review process free of charge.
An Article Processing Charge (APC) of USD 750.00 is payable only after a manuscript has successfully completed the peer-review process and has received a final editorial decision of acceptance. Payment instructions are provided together with the official Acceptance Letter.
The APC is intended solely to support the costs associated with professional scholarly publishing and to ensure the long-term sustainability of the Journal's Open Access publishing model. The APC does not influence editorial decisions and does not guarantee publication. Editorial decisions are based exclusively on the scientific quality, originality, technical soundness, ethical compliance, and relevance of the submitted manuscript.
The APC contributes to covering the costs associated with:
- Editorial management and manuscript administration.
- Double-blind peer-review management.
- Technical and language quality control.
- Similarity screening and research integrity verification.
- Copyediting, layout editing, and production.
- DOI registration and metadata preparation.
- Online publication through the Journal's Open Journal Systems (OJS).
- Digital preservation and long-term archiving.
- Indexing support and dissemination through scholarly databases.
- Website maintenance and continuous improvement of publishing services.
The standard APC covers manuscripts of up to 15 published pages. For manuscripts exceeding this limit, an additional charge of USD 15.00 per published page will apply.
As a Fully Open Access Journal, IJASCA does not charge subscription fees to readers. Instead, publication costs are supported through APCs, allowing all published articles to be freely available to researchers, educators, practitioners, policymakers, and the wider public immediately upon publication.
