Author Fee Policy
Indian Studies Review (ISR)
The Indian Studies Review (ISR) is committed to maintaining high editorial and publishing standards while ensuring transparency in its fee structure. To support sustainable peer review, copyediting, and publication processes, the following applies:
Article Submission Fee
There is no fee for submitting a manuscript.
Article Processing Charges (APCs)
If an article is accepted for publication, a fee of ₹4,500 (INR) will be charged to cover editorial processing, copyediting, formatting, and online publication.
This ensures all articles remain freely available online under an Open Access model.
Print Copy Charges
Additional Hard copies of the journal are available for ₹500 per copy, including postage within India.
No Waivers or Discounts
Due to already minimal APCs, no waivers or discounts are offered. The fee structure is designed to be affordable and sustainable for all authors.
Editorial Independence
Editorial decisions are based solely on scholarly merit and not on an author’s ability to pay.
APC payments are processed only after acceptance, ensuring financial considerations do not influence peer review or editorial evaluations.
Transparency & Payment Policy
- ISR will never request APCs for personal accounts.
- All payments must be made only to the official account of the CSPG.
- All fees are clearly stated on the journal’s website, ensuring authors are fully informed before submission.
Those wishing to make NEFT/ Bank Transfer for payments related to the subscription can do so to our Indian Bank.
