ESRA Publications Pvt. Ltd. ensures that authors, university libraries, research institutions, and individual readers are not required to purchase a subscription or pay a pay-per-view fee to access or download Open-Access articles.

Accordingly, ESRA Publications does not generate revenue from the sale of electronic journal subscriptions or from pay-per-view access to individual articles.

Publication Processing Fee

Although access to the published articles is free for readers, online Open-Access publishing involves various operational and publication-related costs. These include:

  • Maintenance of publishing infrastructure and online journal platforms
  • Routine operation and management of journals
  • Manuscript processing and editorial administration
  • Peer-review and editorial processing
  • Copyediting, formatting and preparation of manuscripts
  • Online publication and website maintenance
  • Indexing and metadata management
  • Digital archiving and long-term preservation
  • Maintenance of publication records and related services

To help meet these costs, ESRA Publications Pvt. Ltd. may charge a Publication Processing Fee (PPF), also commonly referred to as an Article Processing Charge (APC).

The PPF is payable only after a manuscript has been accepted for publication. The existence or amount of a PPF has no bearing on the editorial decision regarding acceptance or rejection of a manuscript.

No Submission or Registration Fee

There is:

  • No manuscript submission fee
  • No registration fee
  • No page charge
  • No subscription fee for readers
  • No pay-per-view fee for accessing or downloading published Open-Access articles

Waiver and Financial Assistance

ESRA Publications recognizes that authors from low-income, lower-middle-income, and developing countries may face financial difficulties in meeting publication costs, particularly when institutional funding, research grants, or other financial support is unavailable.

Under appropriate circumstances, authors who are unable to pay the applicable PPF may request a full or partial waiver, discount, or financial assistance from the ESRA Publications Fund.

Such requests should normally be made at the appropriate stage of the publication process and will be considered on a case-by-case basis, subject to the applicable ESRA Publications policy.

Payment Information

Details regarding the applicable Publication Processing Fee and the available modes of payment will be communicated to the corresponding author after acceptance of the manuscript and before publication.

Payment of a PPF is solely intended to support the costs associated with Open-Access publication and does not constitute a fee for peer review or a guarantee of acceptance.

Commitment to Open Access
