Journal of Wildlife and Biodiversity, was free of charge from 2017 to December 2022. Regarding the financial independence of the journal, and covering various expenses like editorial board services, English editing services, page design, DOIs, and mass emails ... we agreed to apply for APC in August 2023. Therefore we will apply APC from August 2023. Please consider that our team needs to work many hours every day to manage all processes of the publication from submission to final publication. Please consider that the publisher has give all rights and responsiblities regarding the financial and human resource management of the JWB to the journal founder and director in charge.

From Nov. 2024, Iranian authors will be charged 18.000.000 Rls as a publication fee and English editing services by the journal editors.

Income Sources

Our journal operates on a publication fee model, whereby authors are required to pay a fee upon acceptance of their manuscript for publication. This fee serves as the primary source of income for the journal, as we do not receive funding from subscriptions, advertising, reprints, institutional support, or organizational support. We believe in transparency and accountability, and therefore, the details of our business model, including publication fees, are clearly stated on our website. It's important to note that the decision to publish a manuscript is based solely on its academic merit and contribution to the field, and publication fees or waiver status do not influence editorial decision-making in any way
