APCs

Article Processing Charges (APCs) and Publication Fees

The International Journal of Sport and Health Sciences (IJSHS) does not charge any article processing charges (APCs) or publication fees for manuscript submission, peer review, or publication.

Authors are not required to pay fees at any stage of the editorial or publication process, including submission, peer review, copyediting, production, or online publication.

IJSHS is committed to supporting equitable and inclusive scholarly communication by removing financial barriers to publication. The journal operates under an open-access model that ensures free and immediate access to all published articles for readers worldwide, without imposing costs on authors.

The absence of publication fees does not affect the editorial decision-making process. All manuscripts submitted to IJSHS are evaluated solely on the basis of their academic quality, originality, methodological rigor, and relevance to the journal’s aims and scope, in accordance with the journal’s peer review and publication ethics policies.

In the event that publication fees or APCs are introduced in the future, authors will be informed clearly and transparently prior to submission, and any changes will be publicly announced on the journal’s website.
