Funding
Article Processing Charge (APC)
EJHBAP charges an Article Processing Charge (APC) of ₹3,000 + 18% GST (₹3,540 total) per accepted article, payable only after a manuscript has successfully passed peer review and been formally accepted for publication. There is no submission fee and no charge at any stage prior to acceptance.
The APC covers editorial handling, peer review coordination, copyediting, typesetting, DOI registration, and permanent open-access hosting of the article.
Authors unable to pay due to financial hardship may contact support@etthos.com before submission to request a fee waiver or reduction; requests are considered on a case-by-case basis and do not influence the editorial or peer review decision.
Preservation
Archiving
EJHBAP is committed to the long-term preservation of its published content and to ensuring continued access to articles even in the event of future changes to the journal or publisher. Formal digital archiving arrangements will be published on this page as they are finalized.
