Financial Aspects
The International Journal of Engineering, Sciences and Technologies (IJEST) is committed to offering an Open Access publishing model to ensure wide dissemination of research without restriction. However, fees are charged to cover the costs of editorial management, peer review, hosting and article indexing.

In certain exceptional cases, a partial or total exemption from fees may be considered for authors from low-income countries or as part of institutional collaborations. Any request for exemption must be motivated and addressed to the editorial committee before final acceptance of the manuscript.
