Article Processing Charges (APC)

The International Journal of Psychosocial Rehabilitation is a fully open access, peer-reviewed journal. All published articles are freely and permanently available online immediately upon publication under the CC BY 4.0 licence.

There are no submission fees, no editorial assessment fees and no peer-review fees. The APC is requested only after a manuscript has been formally accepted for publication, and it has no influence on editorial decisions.

APC from 1 December 2026

The APC is charged only after a manuscript has been accepted. It is made up of the following components:

The revised APC applies to manuscripts accepted for publication on or after 1 December 2026.

Fee Waiver Policy

Authors may request a partial waiver of the waivable components of the APC. The core publication cost of USD 100 is payable on every accepted article and cannot be waived. Requests are assessed on:

• the World Bank income group of the corresponding author's country;
• whether the research is funded;
• documented financial hardship of the corresponding author.

Eligibility is assessed for the corresponding author. Send requests to [email protected] at submission or on acceptance, with a short justification. Waiver requests are handled by the publisher's office; editors and reviewers are not informed of them and are not involved in payments. Fees and waiver status never influence editorial decisions.

APC until 30 November 2026

Manuscripts accepted on or before 30 November 2026 are charged according to the previous APC structure below.
