Article Processing Charges

The British Journal of Applied Linguistics is a self-supporting journal and does not receive funding from any institution/government. Hence, the management of the journal is solely financed by the Article Publishing Charge (APC) received from authors. APC covers the costs of assigning doi number to the paper, professional copyediting, typesetting, publication on our website, marketing, and indexing in major databases, etc. To ensure the integrity of peer review, our team of reviewers do not receive any information about payments at any stage. Being an open access journal, the journal does not receive payment for subscription as the journal is freely accessible over the internet. The journal provides immediate, worldwide free access to all published manuscripts. Readers can view, download, print, and redistribute any article without any financial barrier, enabling greater distribution of an article. Authors are required to pay a fair manuscript handling fee for the processing of their articles. However, there are no submission charges, page charges, or color charges. If the paper is accepted for publication, author(s) will be asked to pay 100 USD as article processing charges.
