Article Processing Charges (APC)

Open-access publishing proposes a relatively new model for scholarly journal publishing that provides worldwide, barrier-free access to the full text of all published articles. Open access allows all interested readers to view, download, print, and redistribute any article without a subscription, enabling far greater distribution of an author's work than the traditional subscription-based publishing model.

For the Al-Rafidain Journal of Political Science, authors are obligated to cover all financial expenses associated with the evaluation and publication procedures. This amounts to 150,000 Iraqi Dinars, and publication fees are waived for non-Iraqi authors.
