Article Processing Charges

At THE REGIONAL TRIBUNE , we strive to maintain high academic and publishing standards by ensuring that every submission undergoes a rigorous review and publication process. To sustain the journal’s open-access policy and cover operational costs, we apply Article Processing Charges (APC) of PKR 25,000 per paper. 

The Article passes through the different stages involved in the Article Processing Procedure. Once the manuscript is accepted, the author(s) will receive an Acceptance Letter and an APC Invoice amounting to PKR 25,000 per paper.

This fee covers the following:
•    Manuscript handling and management
•    Double-blind peer review
•    Editing and typesetting
•    Digital Object Identifier (DOI) assignment
•    Online publication and open access availability

After payment confirmation, the manuscript undergoes final proofreading, formatting, and DOI assignment. The author will receive the final version (Galley Proof) for approval before publication.

Upon approval from the author, the paper is published in the upcoming issue of THE REGIONAL TRIBUNE.
The published article is freely available online for global access under an open access policy.
