None. For the inaugural volume JAISB charges authors nothing: no submission fee, no article processing charge, no page, colour or editorial processing charge, and no fee of any kind for a manuscript that is declined. If a charge is introduced in a later volume, the amount and its effective date will be published on this page in advance, and no manuscript already submitted or under review at that point will be subject to it.
Waiver policy
Not applicable while no charge applies. Should a charge be introduced, full and partial waivers will be available to authors from low- and lower-middle-income economies and in cases of demonstrated hardship, handled by staff who take no part in editorial decisions, with editors blinded to fee status.
