Waiver Policy

Waiver Policy

At Integrity Research Journals, we understand the financial constraints of some institutions and their researchers especially in developing countries. Thus, we have instituted a generous waiver system that may ease the payment of the Article Processing Fee when such researchers choose to publish their manuscripts in any of our journals. We grant automatic waivers to authors based on the World Bank Country Classifications. Authors from LOW-INCOME ECONOMIES COUNTRIES are granted 62% automatic waiver, LOWER-MIDDLE INCOME ECONOMIES (55%), UPPER-MIDDLE-INCOME ECONOMIES (25%) and HIGH-INCOME ECONOMIES (0%). See processing fee.
 
Authors who cannot make full payment are advice to apply for partial waiver as soon as their manuscript is submitted for publication. In extreme cases and after due consideration, it is also not unusual for authors to be granted full waivers. However, authors should not take the advantages of our leniency.
 
Please contact Account Unit at accounts@integrityresjournals.org for a waiver, processing fee, printed copies or any other issue related to payment.
