KRJEL is open access, so there are no charges to readers. To cover peer-review management, editing, typesetting, DOI registration, hosting and long-term archiving, an article processing charge (APC) applies only after a manuscript is accepted. There is no fee for submission or review.

Author category	APC
Authors from India	INR 3000
Authors from other countries	USD 70

 

The APC covers one article of up to [number] typeset pages. Printed copies are optional and charged separately

Waivers and discounts. Authors may request a full or partial waiver at submission if they:

• are based in a country classified by the World Bank as low-income, or
• are students without research funding, or
• can show genuine financial hardship.

Waiver requests are decided by the publisher's office, not the editors. Whether a fee is paid or waived has no effect on the editorial decision.

Refunds. The APC is not refundable once an article is published. If a manuscript is withdrawn after acceptance but before publication, up to [75%] of the APC may be retained to cover work already done. If the journal cannot publish an accepted paper, the APC is refunded in full.
