no apc policy

The Journal of Communication and Behavioural Sciences is committed to promoting the free and equitable dissemination of scholarly research. The journal follows a No Article Processing Charge (No APC) policy, which means that authors are not required to pay any fee for the submission, processing, peer review, editorial handling, acceptance, or publication of their manuscripts.

The journal does not impose charges for:

• Manuscript submission

• Initial editorial screening

• Peer review process

• Editorial processing and communication

• Acceptance of manuscripts

• Online publication of articles

• Access to published content

All manuscripts are evaluated solely on the basis of their academic quality, originality, relevance, methodological rigor, and contribution to the field of communication and behavioural sciences. Editorial decisions are made independently of any financial considerations.

By maintaining a No APC model, the journal aims to encourage participation from researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, and students across different institutions, regions, and economic backgrounds. This policy supports the principles of open academic exchange, inclusivity, and the advancement of knowledge without financial barriers.

The journal reserves the right to revise its publication policies if required for operational or sustainability purposes. Any future changes related to publication charges will be clearly announced on the journal’s official website prior to implementation.

At present, the Journal of Communication and Behavioural Sciences does not charge any Article Processing Charges (APCs) or publication fees to authors under its current publication policy.
