Article Processing Charges

The International Journal of Medical Research and Innovation in Applied Science (IJMRIAS) operates under an open-access publishing model to ensure that all published articles are freely accessible to readers worldwide without subscription barriers.

To support the costs associated with editorial management, peer review coordination, plagiarism screening, online hosting, digital archiving, DOI registration (if applicable), and long-term preservation, the journal applies an Article Processing Charge (APC) for accepted manuscripts.

  1. APC Details
  • Article Processing Charge: ₹ 2,500 (Indian Rupees)
  • Applicable To: Accepted manuscripts only
  • Submission Fee: No submission charges
  • Peer Review Fee: No review charges
  • Payment Timing: After final acceptance and prior to publication

The APC covers the complete publication process from acceptance to online publication.

  1. Transparency Policy
  • APC payment does not influence editorial or peer review decisions.
  • Manuscripts are evaluated solely on scientific merit, originality, and relevance.
