OPEN ACCESS PUBLISHING
Publication Fees & Open Access
IQ Research Journal (IQRJ) is committed to making quality scholarly research freely accessible to readers worldwide. As an open-access, peer-reviewed journal, all published articles are made available online without subscription barriers.
To support the editorial and publishing process, the journal charges an Article Processing Charge (APC) for manuscripts accepted for publication. These fees contribute towards editorial administration, peer-review coordination, digital publishing, website maintenance, hosting infrastructure, and long-term access to published research.
ⓘ Important: There are no submission fees. Authors are only required to pay the applicable publication fee after their manuscripts have successfully completed peer review and received formal acceptance.

EQUITABLE PUBLISHING
Publication Fee Waiver & Discounts
IQ Research Journal recognises that researchers and institutions may face financial limitations when seeking to publish their work. The journal therefore provides a fee-waiver consideration process to support equitable participation in scholarly publishing.
Low- and Middle-Income Countries
Authors from eligible countries may be considered for partial publication fee reductions.
Financial Hardship
Authors experiencing exceptional financial constraints may submit a waiver request for consideration.
Institutional Support
Requests supported by a recognised academic institution may be considered.
All waiver requests are subject to editorial and administrative assessment. Authors should submit their requests before making payment and provide relevant supporting information.
⚠ Important information — A fee waiver or discount is not automatic and must be approved by the journal. Publication decisions are based on scholarly quality and editorial assessment, not an author’s ability to pay.
HOW PAYMENT WORKS
Payment Procedure
The publication fee is only due after acceptance. The process works as follows:
STEP BY STEP
1. Manuscripts are submitted through the journal’s submission system without any submission fee.
2. Each manuscript undergoes editorial screening and peer review.
3. Authors receive an official publication decision.
4. Following acceptance, the corresponding author receives payment instructions.
5. Publication processing proceeds after confirmation of the applicable payment or approved waiver.
