Article Processing Charges
CRISS publishes all its articles in full open access, which means unlimited use and reuse of articles, in addition to giving credit to the authors, under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) 3.0 licence. Any further distribution of this work must maintain attribution to the author(s) and the title of the work, journal citation and DOI.
CRISS is published under a Platinum Open Access (POA) arrangement as described by Emerald Publishing. In the POA arrangement, all costs associated with publishing Open Access articles are arranged by the Publisher, Center for Advocacy Research & Communication (CARC).
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. 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.

APC waivers and discounts
MS/PhD scholars may get a special waiver of 10% in APC and for international authors 20%. CRISS also offers APC waivers (up to 20%) to manuscripts whose corresponding authors are based in countries classified by the World Bank as low-income economies. Requests from authors in financial need will be considered on a case-by-case basis. For more information, write CARC's Journals' Support Staff.
