Article Processing Charge Policy
Journal of Inclusive Education and Digital Innovation (JIEDI) does not charge authors any article submission, editorial processing, peer-review, publication, or online access fees. Authors may submit and publish eligible manuscripts in JIEDI without paying an Article Processing Charge (APC).
This policy is intended to promote equitable participation in scholarly communication and ensure that publication opportunities remain accessible to researchers, educators, practitioners, and authors from diverse institutional and socioeconomic backgrounds.
Fee Details
Editorial Independence
Editorial and peer-review decisions are based exclusively on the academic quality, originality, relevance, methodological rigour, and conformity of a manuscript with the journal’s focus and scope. Decisions are not influenced by an author’s financial circumstances, institutional affiliation, nationality, gender, religion, or personal background.
No Hidden Charges
JIEDI does not request payments through personal bank accounts, unofficial communication channels, or unauthorised third parties. Authors should immediately report any suspicious request for payment made in the name of the journal or publisher.
Changes to the Fee Policy
If the journal introduces or modifies publication charges in the future, the updated policy and applicable amount will be announced transparently on this page before taking effect. Any fee introduced after a manuscript has been submitted will not be applied retroactively unless the author has received prior notification and provided explicit agreement.
