Article Processing Charges (APC) Policy

The Journal of Pure and Applied Agriculture (JPAA) is a fully open-access, peer-reviewed journal that does not charge any article processing, submission, or publication fees at any stage of the publishing process.

No Charges for Authors

Authors are not required to pay any fees for manuscript submission, peer review, article processing, online publication, and open access availability. All articles are published free of charge and are immediately available to readers worldwide without any subscription or paywall.

Funding and Support

The journal is financially supported by the following institutions:

• Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU), Islamabad, the official publisher of JPAA.
• Higher Education Commission (HEC), Islamabad, Pakistan, providing additional funding and support under its journal recognition and development programs.
