Overview
The Asian Journal of Individual and Organizational Behavior Journal operates under a fully open-access model, ensuring that all published articles are freely and permanently available online immediately upon publication — with no subscription barriers for readers anywhere in the world.
To sustain the editorial and production infrastructure required to maintain this access model, authors are required to pay an Article Processing Charge (APC) upon acceptance of their manuscript. Submission to the journal is free of charge; the APC is invoiced only after a manuscript has successfully completed peer review and been accepted for publication.
|
Standard APC USD 420 Effective January 1, 2025 |
Charge covers
|
|
Note: The APC applies per accepted manuscript. Submission is free and authors are not charged at the point of submission. The charge is due only upon acceptance. |
Waiver Program
Fee Waivers for Low- and Middle-Income Countries
To promote equitable global participation in scholarly publishing, the journal provides APC waivers for authors from low- and middle-income countries. Waiver eligibility is determined by the corresponding author's institutional affiliation at the time of submission, in alignment with the Research4Life eligibility framework. Authors must request a waiver during the manuscript submission process.
|
GROUP A — FULL WAIVER Up to 100% Authors affiliated with Group A institutions may apply for a full waiver of the standard APC during the submission process. |
GROUP B — PARTIAL WAIVER Up to 50% Authors affiliated with Group B institutions may apply for a partial waiver of up to 50% of the standard APC during submission. |
|
Important: Waiver requests from countries outside of the two tiers described above may not be considered. Eligibility is assessed solely on the basis of the corresponding author's listed affiliation — not the author's nationality or place of residence. |
Withdrawal Policy
Manuscript Withdrawal Terms
Authors may request the withdrawal of their manuscript by submitting a written explanation to the editorial office. Withdrawal requests are handled in accordance with the journal's editorial policies and applicable publication ethics guidelines.
Before Formal Acceptance
Authors may withdraw their manuscripts at any stage before formal acceptance, including during preliminary editorial screening and peer review, without incurring any withdrawal fees or penalties.
After Formal Acceptance and Commencement of Production
If withdrawal is requested after formal acceptance and production has commenced, reasonable and documented production costs may apply, where appropriate. Any applicable charges will be based on actual production expenses rather than a fixed withdrawal penalty.
Withdrawal Request Procedure
Authors should submit a written withdrawal request to the journal's editorial office, stating the reason for withdrawal. The editorial office will review the request and communicate the outcome to the corresponding author.
Withdrawal requests will be handled in accordance with the journal's editorial policies and relevant guidance from the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
