P-Edu International Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies (P-EIJMS) is committed to promoting inclusive and equitable scholarly publishing. To support researchers who may face financial constraints, the journal follows a transparent and case-based waiver and discount policy for Article Processing Charges (APCs), where applicable.

Eligibility for Waivers and Discounts

Group A: Authors from Low-Income Regions

Authors based in low-income or resource-constrained regions may be considered for a partial waiver of APCs, subject to editorial evaluation.

Group B: Financial Hardship Cases

Authors who are unable to meet APC requirements due to limited institutional or personal funding may apply for a partial waiver. Such requests should be supported by appropriate documentation (e.g., a signed letter from the Head of the Institution or an equivalent authority). The decision to grant a waiver is based on the validity of the supporting information and is made at the discretion of the journal.

Group C: Editorial and Reviewer Contribution

Editors and reviewers who have made a substantial contribution to the journal’s peer-review process within a calendar year may be eligible for a partial discount on APCs, subject to editorial approval. 

Application Procedure

• Requests for waivers or discounts must be submitted at the time of manuscript submission.
• Requests made during the review process or after acceptance will not be considered.
• All waiver and discount requests are evaluated independently of editorial decisions, and approval is not guaranteed.
