APC & Fee Waiver Policy
Clear, fair publishing fees — with waivers and subsidies available so cost is never a barrier to publishing quality African research.

Quick Navigation
AfriSci Nexus publishes all accepted articles as open access, meaning every article is freely available to readers worldwide at no cost. To sustain this model — covering peer review coordination, copyediting, typesetting, DOI registration, indexing, and permanent hosting — journals on our platform charge an Article Processing Charge (APC) upon acceptance of a manuscript.
APCs are only ever charged after a manuscript has been peer reviewed and accepted for publication. We never charge submission fees, and authors are never charged if their manuscript is rejected.
Each journal's specific APC amount is listed on its journal page and in the author submission guidelines. APCs may be paid via bank transfer, credit card, or regional mobile money services (M-Pesa, MTN Mobile Money, Airtel Money, Orange Money, and others).
