Article Publishing Charges (APCs)

IJIMS does not charge any submission fee or Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication. All accepted articles are published through the journal's open access model and are freely available to readers.

Before submission, authors must review the complete information available on the IJIMS website, including the journal's scope, indexing and abstracting information, peer review process, publication ethics, author guidelines, manuscript template, and other applicable policies. Authors are responsible for ensuring that their manuscript complies with these requirements.

IJIMS follows its established editorial, peer review, formatting, and publication procedures. Authors cannot request changes to, bypass, or otherwise alter these established procedures.

If an author requests withdrawal after editorial or peer review processing has commenced, a withdrawal processing charge of US $100 may apply. This is an administrative withdrawal charge and is not an APC, submission fee, or publication fee. The charge does not apply when withdrawal results from an editorial, ethical, or procedural decision made by IJIMS.
