Article Processing Charges (APCs)

Since its inception in 2013, SOCRATES Journal has offered fully free paper submission, review, and publication. To maintain the journal's high standards and ensure seamless operations, a minimal charge is now required for paper processing.

Publication charges apply only upon manuscript acceptance and must be covered by the submitting author(s), funder(s), institution(s), or employer(s). All peer-reviewed reviews and articles accepted on and after 25th October 2024 will be subject to an Article Processing Charge (APC) as outlined below:

APCs for Accepted Manuscripts:

  • For Indian Authors: 3500 INR
  • For International Authors: 50 USD

The APC is to be paid by the submitting/corresponding author, funder(s), institution(s), or employer(s), following acceptance of the manuscript. Payment details will be sent via email along with the acceptance notification.
