Article Processing Charges | FJAR

Gold Open Access Publishing

Falcons Journal of Advanced Research (FJAR) provides immediate, permanent, and unrestricted free access to research findings worldwide. To sustain this model, we utilize an Article Processing Charge (APC) to cover high-quality editorial, production, and archival costs.

Standard Fee Structure

Effective: Oct 2025

Fees are inclusive of all taxes and are payable only after formal acceptance of a manuscript. Evaluation and peer review are free of charge.

Author Category Fixed APC (Inclusive of Taxes)
National Authors (Pakistan) PKR 60,000
International Authors US$ 350

Once an article is published, the APC is non-refundable as the production and global indexing services have been fully rendered.

Equity & Waiver Policy

FJAR utilizes the Research4Life framework to ensure financial barriers do not prevent the publication of impactful research. We offer 50–100% waivers for authors from qualifying lower-income nations.

For eligibility criteria and country lists, please visit our Waiver Policy Page.

Editorial Independence

To maintain absolute integrity, the editorial board is never involved in financial discussions. Waiver requests are handled exclusively by the administrative office. Decisions are based strictly on scientific merit; financial status will never influence the peer-review outcome.
