Revenue Sources Statement

Section Menu

 

The AJMS Revenue Sources statement explains the principal financial arrangements that support the Asian Journal of Managerial Science and how those arrangements are kept separate from editorial decision-making. AJMS is published by the Centre for Research and Innovation (CRI) and follows a Gold Open Access model.

1. Article Processing Charges

AJMS receives APCs from authors of accepted articles. The current APC is INR 3,000 for authors based in India and USD 50 for authors based outside India. No manuscript submission fee is charged, and the APC is requested only after editorial acceptance following peer review. Current discounts and refund conditions are explained on the Article Processing Charges & Waivers page.

Subscription charges may apply to the printed version of the journal. Electronic articles remain freely available under the Gold Open Access model without subscription or pay-per-view charges.

3. Publisher and Organisational Support

CRI provides editorial administration, production, hosting, archiving, preservation, dissemination, and other publishing support. CRI is a scholarly publishing unit of The Bharath Social and Research Foundation, a non-profit organisation.

4. Advertising Revenue

AJMS does not currently publish commercial advertisements and therefore does not currently rely on commercial advertising revenue. See the Advertising Policy for the current position.

5. Editorial Independence

APC payment or non-payment, discounts, refunds, print subscription revenue, publisher support, advertising, sponsorship, marketing activity, or other financial considerations do not influence screening, reviewer selection, peer review, acceptance, rejection, correction, or retraction.

6. Fee Transparency and Material Changes

AJMS should publish current author charges, discount or waiver conditions, refund rules, and confirmation of any submission fee before manuscript submission. New material revenue sources or author-facing charges should be disclosed before they take effect. The DOAJ transparency principles likewise call for clear disclosure of journal business models and separation of revenue from editorial decisions.
