An overview of UGC-approved journals with inexpensive publication fees for computer science is given here. We also include a number of academic and professional fields where journals frequently offer waivers and discounts under specific circumstances, or have lower publication fees—also known as Article Processing Charges, or APCs—for their publications.
Science and Technology
Humanities and Social Sciences
Medical and Health Sciences
Environmental Sciences and Biology
Engineering and Computer Science
Economics, Business, and Policy
Publication fee-free or very low-cost journals frequently supported by us it open access as it is particularly advantageous for underfunded or low-income researchers. We keep publishing costs for authors low, these journals may receive funding from grants, societies, or academic institutions. This is a varied list of journals and publishers that are renowned for having low or no APCs, but details can vary, so we make sure to confirm the most recent policies of each journal. Read the below categories to get more support.
