Article Processing Charges

PJEMS maintains a transparent policy regarding Article Processing Charges (APCs).

Current APC

Article Processing Charge

• International Authors: $50
• Nigerian Authors: ₦40,000

The applicable APC should be paid only after a manuscript has successfully completed the editorial and peer-review process and has received an acceptance decision, unless otherwise explicitly stated by the journal.

Important

Payment of an Article Processing Charge does not guarantee acceptance or publication.

Editorial decisions are made independently of financial considerations.

What the APC Supports

Where applicable, publication charges support:

• Editorial administration
• Peer-review administration
• Copyediting
• Proofreading
• Typesetting
• DOI registration
• Online publication
• Digital preservation
• Journal hosting
• Metadata management

Waivers

Authors experiencing financial difficulties may contact the editorial office regarding possible waiver or reduction arrangements.

Any financial assistance decision should be handled independently of the scholarly evaluation of the manuscript.
