Jozac Publishers is aware that certain authors or universities might not be financially sufficient to support their research article publication.  For this reason, if an author decides to publish an article in any of our journals, we have implemented a generous waiver and discount policy that may make it easier for authors to publish their articles with us.  According to our mission statement, publishing high-quality research articles will help us achieve our main objective open access policy. Without placing an excessive financial burden on academics or their institutions, we are persistently working towards this objective. As a result, we have implemented the discount and waiver policy.

Discount and Waiver Policy

The Article Publication Charge (APC) of $200 is a once-off payment that covers all expenses that facilitate the quality publication process and delivery of open (unrestricted) access to all the published articles for authors and readers. 

There are no additional fees, irrespective of the article length (number of pages), the number of tables, figures, or the additional material included. Given the limited financial resources of academics and researchers from disadvantaged populations, communities, and countries with low incomes, the Journal provides choices for APC waivers and discounts that are customized to the authors' particular situations.

The ASSHJ provides APC discounts, waivers, as well as tailored discounts/waivers depending upon the authors' particular situations. These offers aim to give academics and researchers equal opportunities to publish their articles whether from disadvantaged populations, groups, communities, and countries with low incomes.
