Infinity Journals operates under a fully open-access publishing model. All articles are published under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC 4.0), which permits non-commercial use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided that the original author(s) and copyright holder(s) are properly credited and the original publication in the journal is cited.
To cover the costs of editorial management, peer-review administration, production, online hosting, dissemination, archiving, and long-term preservation, an Article Processing Charge (APC) is payable for manuscripts accepted for publication.
The current APC rates are published on the Journal’s website and are subject to periodic review.
Editorial decisions are based exclusively on the scholarly quality, originality, significance, and integrity of submitted work. The ability of authors or their institutions to pay the APC does not influence editorial evaluation or publication decisions. APC invoices are issued only after a manuscript has been formally accepted for publication. Payment of an APC does not guarantee acceptance.
The Journal does not charge submission, review, or processing fees for rejected manuscripts. No additional charges are imposed based on article length, number of figures, tables, color images, or supplementary materials unless otherwise stated on the Journal’s website.
The following article types are normally published without an APC: Editorials, Corrections, Addenda, Retractions, Expressions of Concern, and other invited content as determined by the Editors.
APC Waivers and Discounts
The Journal is committed to ensuring that financial circumstances do not prevent the publication of high-quality research. Full or partial APC waivers may be granted to authors who lack access to adequate funding, including authors from low- and middle-income countries, early-career researchers, and authors conducting unfunded or underfunded research.
Waiver requests are assessed on a case-by-case basis according to the Journal’s waiver criteria and available funding resources. All requests are handled confidentially and independently of the editorial and peer-review process. The outcome of a waiver request will not influence the editorial assessment of a manuscript.
Authors seeking an APC waiver should submit a formal waiver request that includes the manuscript title, journal name, corresponding author details, and a brief explanation of the circumstances supporting the request. Requests should be sent to: waiver@infinity-ipc.org.
The Journal reserves the right to approve, partially approve, or decline waiver requests based on the information provided and the availability of waiver support.
