Open Access and Article Processing Charge (APC)
All articles published in the Journal of Workplace Innovation and Scientific Research (ISSN: [to be assigned]) are published in full open access. To support this model and cover essential operational costs, an article processing charge (APC) of 318 USD applies to papers accepted after peer review.
Our Philosophy: Fair Compensation, Barrier-Free Access
At Knowledge Barrierless Press, we navigate the delicate balance between “paid knowledge” and “free knowledge.” We believe that contributors deserve fair compensation for their intellectual labor, which the APC helps to provide. Simultaneously, we hold that once produced, knowledge becomes our shared heritage and should be accessible to all. Thus, the APC is not designed for profit, but to sustain a model where knowledge can be both respected in its creation and liberated in its dissemination.
Cost Coverage
The APC is used to cover the core costs of professional publishing services, including:
Peer review management
Copyediting and typesetting
Long-term digital preservation and archiving
Journal platform maintenance and development

Invoices are issued via email to the corresponding author shortly after manuscript acceptance. Please note that only official invoices issued directly from Knowledge Barrierless Press are valid. We do not authorize any third parties to collect payments on our behalf.
