PJVAR offers free of charge online access by published articles through its platform which are reusable. By default, we publish these articles under a Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial (CC BY-NC 4.0) licence that allows reuse subject only to the use being non-commercial and to the article being fully attributed.
Article processing charges: PJVAR does not require any fee from the authors in order to submit their papers. However, a charge of USD 250 from foreign authors and 30000 Pkr is expected for all the accepted papers in this journal which will have to go through the double blind peer review process. The payment will only be required after acceptance and contribution payment does not in any way affect the peer review of the paper. It is the fee for article processing, mainly covering the operational cost e.g., website hosting, website domain charges, website maintenance, payment of clerical work and typesetting charges etc. So PJVAR purely work on non-profit model.
APC Waiver Policy
We are well aware that some of the authors lacked funds to pay APCs therefore allow them to apply for the full or partial APC waiver. No payment information is requested before an article is accepted, so the ability to pay cannot affect editorial decisions.
