The Article Processing Charge (APC) is a fee levied to authors to cover the costs associated with publishing their research in the Journal of Sustainable Development and Corporate Responsibility. As an open-access journal, we aim to make high-quality research accessible to a global audience, while also ensuring the sustainability of our publication.

The APC for the Journal of Sustainable Development and Corporate Responsibility is $500 USD per article. This fee is applicable to all accepted manuscripts, and it covers the costs of:

• Double-blind peer review process, ensuring the highest standards of quality and impartiality
• Professional editing and proofreading, to ensure clarity and coherence of the manuscript
• Typesetting and formatting, to ensure a professional and consistent layout
• Online hosting and maintenance, to ensure permanent accessibility of the article
• Indexing and abstracting, to ensure maximum visibility and discoverability of the article

Our journal adheres to the principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and follows a rigorous double-blind review process, to ensure the integrity and validity of the research published. All articles are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC-BY) license, allowing for maximum reuse and dissemination of the research.

Authors are required to pay the APC only after their manuscript has been accepted for publication. The APC is non-refundable, and it is the responsibility of the authors to ensure that they have the necessary funds to cover the costs. We offer a waiver policy for authors from low-income countries or those who are experiencing financial difficulties. Please contact our editorial team for more information on our waiver policy.

By paying the APC, authors support the mission of the Journal of Sustainable Development and Corporate Responsibility to promote high-quality research and advance knowledge in the fields of sustainable development and corporate responsibility. We appreciate the support of our authors and look forward to publishing their research.
