Can I reduce my publication fee?

Yes, you can reduce the amount you have to pay if you apply for a waiver or discount, which are available only if the author(s) are based in developing countries (list is provided below). You must declare reasonable reasons for a waiver or discount in the comments to the Editor box during your submission, otherwise, your application will be considered a normal submission if it is not asked at this stage. 

Applying for a waiver or discount will not affect the article submission's review results.

Waivers and Discounts

For authors publishing in REiLA journals, it offers waivers and discounts to corresponding authors based in developing countries.

To ensure that editorial decisions are never influenced by the ability to pay, it is REiLA policy that editors of open-access journals are not involved in correspondence with authors regarding payment of Article Publication Charges (APCs). The automatic waiver system will be managed by administrative staff not involved in decisions regarding article acceptance. We ask authors not to discuss any issues concerning payment with editors.

In addition to the Research4Life countries listed below, some journals may offer additional waiver initiatives for APCs. These additional APC waivers will be managed by the editors and may be discussed with them.
