For authors

Publication charges

Nothing is charged to submit, and nothing is charged to read. The only fee is the publication charge, payable after a paper has been accepted.

  • Manuscript handling charge

    2,000 INR / 45 USD

    Payable only after your paper is accepted

  • DOI registration, optional

    500 INR / 10 USD

    Added to the charge above if you want a DOI

When you pay

Nothing is due at submission. If your paper is accepted, the acceptance letter carries the bank account details along with the decision. Payment confirmed means publication within 72 hours.

Paying from India

Choose whichever of these suits you. All three use the account given in your acceptance letter.

  • Deposit directly at any branch of the bank named in the letter.
  • Transfer from your net banking account.
  • Demand draft.

If you would prefer to pay by card from India, write to editor@ijcrm.com and a payment link will be sent to you.

Paying from outside India

Pay by credit card, debit card, Mastercard or Visa through PayPal. The payment is handled entirely on PayPal's own site; no card details are entered on or stored by ijcrm.com.

Receipts and queries

For a receipt, an institutional invoice, or any question about a payment, write to editor@ijcrm.com quoting your paper title.

What the charge pays for

IJCRM is open access. Readers pay nothing and there is no subscription, so the publication charge is what covers editorial handling, typesetting, DOI deposit where requested, and keeping every article online at a permanent address. That last one is not a one-off cost: articles published in 2016 are still being served today.
