Article Processing Charges

KUBRJ publishes all its articles in full open access, meaning unlimited use and reuse of articles, in addition to giving credit to the authors, under a Creative Commons (CC BY) license.

Karachi University Business Research Journal (KUBRJ) is published under a Platinum Open Access (POA) arrangement as described by Emerald Publishing.  In the POA arrangement, all costs associated with publishing an Open Access article in the journal are funded by Karachi University Business School (KUBS) or Funding Agencies (under the supervision of KUBS).

Therefore, Authors do not pay Article Processing Charges (APC) to cover the costs of peer review administration and management, professional production of articles in PDF and other formats, and dissemination of published papers in various venues, in addition to other publishing functions. There are no charges for rejected articles, no submission charges, and no surcharges based on the length of an article, figures or supplementary data. Some items (Editorials, Corrections, Addendums, Retractions, Comments, etc.) are published free of charge.
