Authors pay a one-time Article Processing Charge (APC) to cover the costs of peer review administration and management, professional production of articles in PDF and other formats, and dissemination of published papers in various venues, in addition to other publishing functions. The article processing charge is to cover the costs of peer review, copyediting, typesetting, long-term archiving, and journal management. Please note that the option to process an advance payment remains but does not guarantee the acceptance of manuscripts. There are no charges for rejected articles, no submission charges, and no surcharges based on the length of an article, figures or supplementary data. Some items (Editorials, Corrections, Addendums, Retractions, Comments, etc.) are published free of charge.

All articles published in The Scholars Time: A Multidisciplinary Journal of Research and Development (ISSN 2581-6489) are published in full open access. An article processing charge (APC) of 1500/- INR applies to papers accepted after peer review.
