Article Processing Charges (APC)

Article Processing Charge (APC)

AgriPaT charges no submission or manuscript-handling fee. A publication fee of USD 50 (international authors) or PKR 12,000 (Pakistani authors) is payable only after a manuscript has been accepted. Fee changes are announced on this page and do not apply to manuscripts already submitted.

Payment and waivers have no effect on acceptance. Editorial decisions are made independently of any fee or waiver request.

Waivers: Authors who cannot pay may request a full or partial waiver. Requests are sent by email to ceo@ageconfrontiers.com with a short explanation, not through the submission form or cover letter. Requests are decided by the publisher’s Waiver Officer, who is not an editor and has no role in peer review or editorial decisions. Handling editors and reviewers are not told whether a waiver was requested or granted. Decisions are based on documented financial need and available funds, and are communicated within 10 working days.
