International Journal of Innovative Trends in Engineering Science and Technology is committed to complete fee transparency in compliance with the DOAJ Principles of Transparency and OASPA guidelines.
Submitting an article to IJITEST is completely free of charge. No upfront fees are ever collected.
Editorial screening, Turnitin similarity checks, and expert peer review are conducted without cost to authors.
To cover operational costs—including platform hosting, cloud storage, plagiarism checking, CrossRef DOI minting, JATS XML conversion, and permanent archiving—an Article Processing Charge (APC) is invoiced only after a manuscript has successfully passed double-blind peer review and received formal acceptance by the Editor-in-Chief.
Editorial and peer review decisions are made solely based on scientific novelty, methodological rigor, and academic integrity. Reviewers and editors have no access to author billing information, and an author's financial status never influences editorial outcomes.
IJITEST firmly believes that financial limitations must never prevent the publication of worthy scientific discoveries. We provide the following fee relief programs:
Waiver requests must be noted in the submission cover letter and cannot be requested retroactively after editorial acceptance.
