The Journal of Recent Innovations in Computer Science and Technology (JRICST) is an open-access journal managed and published by Academics Achievers Education And Research Foundation. The journal does not receive funding from any university or government grants.

To cover the costs of peer review, online hosting, archiving, and open-access publication, JRICST charges an Article Processing Charge (APC) of USD 350 for accepted manuscripts.

Waiver Policy

JRICST is committed to ensuring that the APC does not prevent authors from publishing. Waivers or discounts may be granted based on the following criteria:

1. Economic Considerations

   • Full or partial waivers are available for authors from low-income and lower-middle-income countries (World Bank classification).

2. Institutional Support and Funding Constraints

   • Authors without institutional funding or grants may request a waiver, considered case-by-case.

3. Early-Career Researchers and Students

   • Special consideration may be given to graduate students or early-career researchers without research funding.

Request Process:

• Authors must indicate the waiver request during manuscript submission.

• The editorial team evaluates the request before acceptance.

• Requesting a waiver does not affect the peer-review outcome.
