Research Lake International Inc. is an open access publishing house for scientific journals. We do not charge the readers when accessing a manuscript or any article. However, publishing with open access is not without costs. No external sources of funding hence no extraneous influence will potentially harm the open access to the publication, for example, from academic institutions, learned societies, or government. This helps the scientific community to view, download, distribution of an article in any medium, provided that the original work is properly cited, under the term of "Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial License (CC BY-NC)".

Many people are involved and giving their best in order to make the journal on international standards. Also, due to costs towards article processing, publishing, maintenance of article in secured data storage system, databases and other financial constraints, authors are required to pay a minimum fee as article processing charges (APC). IJBIC also makes a constant effort in collaborating with universities and obtaining citations from various international agencies. Individual publication fee waiver requests are considered on a case-by-case basis. Students and people from low socioeconomic countries are preferred under this individual fee waiver requests.

The article processing fee or manuscript handling cost is 1199 USD, however, authors based out of lower and middle income economies are eligible for discounted price, subjected to the discretion of Research Lake committee of discounts, and please reach out to admin@researchlakejournals.com with authors name, affiliation, and the country specifics.

IJBIC doesn’t charge the article submission fee from the authors. Article processing charges are made if an article completed the review process, accepted by Editorial board members or reviewers and ready for the publication. The corresponding author will be the responsible person and suitably intimated about payment options. Any queries related to the Processing charges waiver should be discussed before submission of the article. After the submission we would not be able to wave processing charges.

Manuscript withdrawal charges
Research Lake is committed to publish high quality articles with our editorial and publishing process transparently outlined in our website under each journal Publication & Editorial Policy. This process demands significant time and effort.
