Article Processing Charges (APC)

International Theory and Practice in Humanities and Social Sciences (ITPHSS) is an open-access journal. All articles published in ITPHSS are open-access and freely available online immediately upon publication. This is made possible by an article-processing charge (APC) that covers the range of publishing services we provide. These services include the provision of online tools for editors and authors, article production, hosting, indexing, and customer services. The APC, payable upon editorial acceptance and before publication, is charged to either you or your funder, institution, or employer.

For the current issue, 150 USD or 1080 RMB (per article) will be applicable.
To encourage the publication of high-quality papers, a special APC discount is offered for submissions accepted before December 30, 2025: 120 USD or 870 RMB per article.

N.B.:

The APC for all published papers is as follows, plus VAT or local taxes where applicable. Payment instructions will be notified by the editorial assistant after the acceptance of the paper.

Refunds or Cancellations Policy:

Article Processing Charges are required after a manuscript has been accepted for publication. We will not issue refunds or cancellations of any kind after the acceptance of the manuscript.
