A publication fees or Article Processing Charges (APCs) is the business model for GJNR. Under this arrangement, the journal is to charge a nominal fee upon acceptance of an article for publication. The idea is for the fee to cover the costs of production, although in practice it might cover more or less. Because rejected articles pay no publication fees, the publication fee must cover the costs of publishing the accepted article plus the cost of reviewing the number of submissions rejected or withdrawn for each accepted submission. The invoice may go to the author, and the author or co-author directly pay the bill. Hence this model is called as the "author pays" or "author fee" model. The fee is called as "article processing charge" (APC).
Detailed information on the APC is available on the page ARTICLE PROCESSSING CHARGES of our website.
In addition to core APC-based revenue generation, all journals of The Grassroots Institute may consider advertising on the website and/or article pages in order to generate income to help support the journal. Under this model, web based advertising revenue is generally based on either the number of website users that may view the advertisement or the number of website users that interact with the advertisement (CPM versus CPA). This advertising will always be in conformation to our Advertising Policy.
Our journal announces Call for Papers using primarily the email communiques, social media and peer friend circles.
