Why No APC?
IJSMIEN is funded entirely by GSE Publications and does not rely on author fees to sustain operations. Our mission is to promote the free exchange of scientific knowledge without financial barriers for either authors or readers — regardless of where they are in the world.
We believe that open access to quality research should not come at the cost of the researchers who produce it.
Waiver Policy
Since IJSMIEN charges no fees whatsoever, no waiver policy is required. All authors from all countries and institutions are treated equally — submission and publication are free.
IJSMIEN will never ask you to pay any fees at any stage of the publication process. If you receive any email asking for payment claiming to be from IJSMIEN, please report it to editor@ijsmien.com immediately.
