Publication Fee
Publication Fees (Article Processing Charges)
Insightia Journal of Research and Innovation is an open access or hybrid, peer-reviewed journal. There is no submission fee, but an Article Processing Charge (APC) is payable upon acceptance to cover editorial and production costs. (For example, a comparable journal charges INR 2000 and USD 340 per article.) APC waivers or discounts may be available for authors from low‑income countries on request. Authors will be informed of the APC during the submission process. After payment for the APC, the article will be published immediately with free public access.
