Waiver Policy

At SciFormat Publishing, we believe in fostering inclusivity and ensuring that researchers from all economic backgrounds have the opportunity to share their knowledge with the world. In line with this commitment, we have established a Waiver Policy for Book Processing Charges (BPC). This policy aims to support authors from different income countries by providing reduced or waived BPC based on their affiliation.

Waiver Categories and Pricing:
We offer different pricing categories for Book Processing Charges (BPC) based on the World Bank's classification of income countries. Here are the details of our waiver categories and associated pricing:

• High-Income Countries or Upper Middle-Income Countries:
  Authors with affiliations in high-income countries or upper middle-income countries will have a Book Processing Charge of 1200 USD. This fee covers the comprehensive range of services provided by SciFormat Publishing, ensuring the highest quality publication standards.
• Lower Middle-Income Countries:
  Authors with affiliations in lower middle-income countries will be eligible for a reduced Book Processing Charge of 800 USD. This pricing category reflects our commitment to supporting researchers from these countries while maintaining the same high-quality services.
• Low-Income Countries:
  Authors with affiliations in low-income countries will benefit from a significantly reduced Book Processing Charge of 600 USD. We recognize the unique challenges faced by researchers in these regions and aim to make publishing more accessible and affordable.

Promoting Inclusivity and Collaboration:
Our waiver policy underscores our commitment to inclusivity and collaboration, enabling researchers from all economic backgrounds to contribute to their fields of expertise. By reducing or waiving Book Processing Charges based on income country classifications, we aim to create a level playing field that empowers researchers from around the globe.

We encourage authors who meet the eligibility criteria to apply for a waiver during the submission process. Our goal is to provide equal opportunities to researchers worldwide, and we are committed to reviewing waiver applications with fairness and transparency.
Thank you for considering SciFormat Publishing as your publishing partner. Together, we can create a more inclusive and collaborative publishing landscape.

Please note that the Waiver Policy is subject to change, and any updates will be communicated on our website.
