Publication Fee Support

RKGP Journals recognizes that financial constraints should not impede the dissemination of high-quality research through Open Access publication. Accordingly, the journals may offer Publication Fee Support (PFS) in the form of waivers to authors who demonstrate genuine financial need.

PFS is primarily intended for corresponding authors who can substantiate their inability to cover the publication fee. Authors affiliated with institutions in eligible low- and middle-income countries may qualify for partial fee waivers. Specifically, corresponding authors from Low-Income Countries may be granted a high percentage waiver, those from Lower-Middle-Income Countries a medium percentage waiver, and those from Upper-Middle-Income Countries a low percentage waiver. Eligibility is determined in accordance with the World Bank classification of countries by income level.
