Author Charges

The International Journal of Business Society (IJO-BS) charges an Article Processing Charge (APC) to cover the costs of peer review, editorial work, publication services, and maintaining our open access platform.

IJO-BS offers partial and full fee waivers for authors from developing countries or those facing financial hardship. Waiver requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and do not affect the editorial decision or peer review process.

To apply for a fee waiver, please contact our editorial office with your manuscript details and a brief explanation of your circumstances.

Once an article has been accepted for publication and the APC has been paid, the fee is non-refundable as the editorial and production process has already commenced.

In cases where an article is withdrawn by the authors after payment but before publication, a partial refund may be considered at the discretion of the editorial board.
