Article Processing Charges (APC)

If a manuscript is accepted for publication in PLANTECH, authors are required to pay the Article Processing Charges (APC) to support the costs of journal production, including copyediting, proofreading, typesetting, DOI registration, indexing, digital archiving, and online hosting.

APC for all categories of articles:

US $300 (or equivalent)
Indian Authors: INR 4,500
GST (18%) applicable

Upon submission, corresponding authors must confirm responsibility for the APC payment. For queries, contact us via email at vindhyaresearch25@gmail.com. 

Fee Waiver Policy

1. Student Discount (Automatic Waiver):
   PLANTECH offers an automatic 10% fee waiver for eligible authors—particularly master’s and doctoral students—from under-developed or developing countries. No application is required; the discount is applied automatically.
   
   

2. Reviewer Discount:
   As part of our reviewer recognition program, reviewers who submit their own manuscripts to PLANTECH will receive up to 10% discount on the APC.
   (See Reviewer Guidelines for details.)
   
   

Note:
The above two waiver options cannot be combined for a single submission.
