Publication Charge Policy and Waiver Policy Statement

Al-Mustansiriyah Journal of Science operates as an open-access publication, meaning that there are no fees associated with subscribing to it. Authors are only required to pay a publication fee of 100 USD (150,000 IQD) for the publishing service once their manuscript has been accepted for publication. It's important to note that this fee does not influence any editorial decisions, and there are no charges until the manuscript is approved for publication.

Waiver Policy Statement

No fees are required for developing countries with low and lower-middle-income countries according to the World Bank Country classification by income level. See this link for more information about World Bank countries and lending groups.

Waivers may be granted at the publisher's discretion and must be discussed with the editorial office when the article is submitted. Editorial decision-making is separated from authors' ability to pay processing fees.
