The International Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Studies (IJAHSS) is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal committed to the wide dissemination of high-quality scholarly research.
To cover the costs associated with manuscript processing, peer review management, editorial services, website maintenance, digital archiving, and online publication, the journal charges an Article Processing Charge (APC) only after a manuscript has been accepted for publication.
Article Processing Charge (APC): USD 300 per accepted manuscript
No submission charges.
No charges for the initial editorial screening and peer-review process.
APC is payable only after the manuscript has successfully passed the peer-review process and has been formally accepted for publication.
The APC contributes to:
Editorial assessment and manuscript handling
Peer-review coordination and management
Copyediting and proofreading
Typesetting and formatting
DOI assignment (where applicable)
Online publication and hosting
Digital preservation and archiving
Open-access dissemination of published articles
The journal may consider partial APC waivers or discounts in exceptional cases, particularly for authors from low-income countries or those facing genuine financial constraints. Requests for waivers must be submitted to the editorial office before publication and will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Once an article has been accepted and processed for publication, APC payments are generally non-refundable. Exceptions may be considered only under extraordinary circumstances and at the discretion of the editorial board.
For APC-related inquiries, authors may contact the editorial office through the journal's official email address.
