To support the sustainable operation of the journal and in line with our commitment to open access publishing, all articles published in the Earthline Journal of Mathematical Sciences are made freely and permanently accessible online immediately after publication.

To cover the costs associated with editorial processing, peer review management, production, and online hosting, authors are required to pay an Article Processing Charge (APC) after their manuscript has been accepted for publication.

• The APC for a paper is USD 80.
• For authors based in India, the APC is INR 6000.

Members of the Editorial Board of EJMS are exempt from paying the Article Processing Charge.

Waiver and Discount Policy

Authors requesting APC waivers or discounts should indicate this at the time of manuscript submission. Requests made after the manuscript has been accepted may not be considered.

What the APC Covers

The Article Processing Charge supports the costs associated with the publication process, including:

• Editorial management and manuscript handling
• Coordination of the peer-review process
• Copyediting and formatting of accepted manuscripts
• Typesetting and preparation of the final published article
• Online hosting, indexing preparation, and digital archiving
• Website maintenance and long-term accessibility of published articles

Payment Policy

There are no submission charges for manuscripts submitted to the journal. The APC is payable only after the manuscript has been accepted for publication following the peer-review process.

Once an article is accepted and the APC has been paid, the fee is non-refundable.

Authors are strongly advised not to request withdrawal of the manuscript after acceptance, as the editorial and production process has already been completed. In such cases, the journal reserves the right to apply administrative charges or decline future submissions from the authors.

This APC policy ensures the sustainability of the journal while promoting the wide dissemination and accessibility of high-quality research in mathematical sciences.
