Article Processing Charge (APC) Policy for the Journal of Humanistic Studies and Social Dynamics (JHSSD)

  1. Article Processing Charge (APC): The Journal of Humanistic Studies and Social Dynamics (JHSSD) follows an open-access publishing model, which allows all articles to be freely accessible to readers. To cover the cost of the peer-review process, editorial work, typesetting, and online hosting, JHSSD requires authors to pay an Article Processing Charge (APC) of 2250 INR per accepted article.
  1. APC Coverage
  • The APC of 2250 INR covers the following:
  • Professional editorial review and peer-review management.
  • Copyediting, proofreading, and typesetting of the manuscript.
  • Hosting the article on the journal’s open-access platform.
  • Long-term archiving and indexing services.
  • There are no additional fees for article submission or article rejection.
  1. Payment Process: Once a manuscript is accepted for publication, the corresponding author will receive an official invoice from Notation Publishing. The APC must be paid before the article is published online. Authors will be provided with payment instructions, and various payment methods (bank transfer, online payment gateways, etc.) will be available.
  1. Refund Policy: Once the APC is paid, it is non-refundable. However, if an error is discovered in the publication process that requires the article to be retracted, JHSSD may offer to refund the APC at the editor’s discretion.
