Article Processing Charges - Susruta Ayurveda

Transparent Open Access Policy

₹1,500 INR / per accepted article

To sustain full, immediate Open Access publication without charging readers or institutional subscribers, the International Journal of Traditional and Integrative Health Sciences (IJTIHS) levies an Article Processing Charge (APC) of ₹1,500 INR per accepted manuscript.

No Submission Fee: There are zero charges for manuscript submission or editorial screening.
Pay Only After Acceptance: The APC is payable strictly after the manuscript has completed peer review and received formal editorial acceptance.
Editorial Independence: Peer-review evaluations and editorial decisions are made entirely independently of payment status.

Payment Notification & Official Invoicing:

Upon formal acceptance of your manuscript, the corresponding author will receive the official acceptance letter along with the invoice and payment instructions (bank transfer / UPI / digital payment options) sent directly from our official editorial desk: info@susrutaayurveda.com.

What Does the APC Cover?

The modest fee directly offsets publishing operations and technical infrastructure:

Professional copyediting, typesetting, and XML/PDF generation.
DOI registration and persistent metadata deposit.
Open Access licensing under Creative Commons (CC-BY 4.0).
Perpetual digital preservation on academic archive networks.

Important Security Notice

Please note that IJTIHS will never request payment from private or third-party email accounts. Always verify that payment communications originate exclusively from info@susrutaayurveda.com.
