Publication Fees

The International Journal of Contemporary Security Studies adheres to a no-fee policy throughout the entire publication process. Authors are not charged at any stage, including:

✔️ No article processing charges (APCs)
✔️ No submission fees
✔️ No publication or page charges

This approach reflects the journal’s commitment to open access, academic inclusion, and research equity. All operational and editorial costs are fully covered through institutional support, allowing authors to publish their work without financial barriers.

By removing cost-related obstacles, the journal ensures free and global access to contemporary security scholarship, while actively supporting contributions from researchers across all regions, particularly those from under-resourced and emerging academic communities.
