International Journal of Academic & Scientific Research

What International Journal of Academic & Scientific Research does

International Journal of Academic & Scientific Research (IJASR), operated by India-based publisher OJP INFOTECH, is a multidisciplinary double-blind peer-reviewed open-access academic journal that publishes bimonthly (six issues per year) under ISSN 2581-7876. It targets researchers and scholars across all scientific disciplines — natural sciences, social sciences, formal sciences, and applied science — and offers open access publishing with rapid turnaround (notification within 1-2 days of submission, acceptance decisions within 5-7 business days). Each accepted article receives a Crossref-issued DOI and is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0.

The journal's technology platform comprises a web-based online manuscript submission system with automated paper status tracking, double-blind peer review management, and Crossref DOI registration. Marketing and author acquisition rely on email-based calls for papers, conference presence, indexing service visibility (Google Scholar, Index Copernicus, WorldCat, ORCID, Cite Factor, OpenAlex), and organic search through the ijasr.org website. The journal is led by Editor-in-Chief Dr. Vishal Muvel and supported by a small 6-person operating team.

IJASR's revenue model is purely transactional article processing charges (APCs) paid by authors — 3500 INR for Indian authors, $60 for middle/low-income economy authors, and $80 for high-income economy authors, with payments via UPI, PayPal, or bank transfer. The publication has no disclosed funding rounds, no institutional sponsorships, no library subscription revenue, and no enterprise contracts; it operates as a self-funded, low-overhead academic publishing unit.

Direct peers

• PeerJ: PeerJ is an open-access publisher of peer-reviewed journals in the biological and medical sciences funded by APCs. It is a direct peer on OA APC model, online-only delivery, and fast peer-review positioning aimed at global researchers.
• Scientific Research Publishing (SCIRP): SCIRP publishes open-access journals across scientific disciplines using author-paid APCs. It is a direct peer to IJASR given overlapping multidisciplinary scope, OA model, and comparable low APC positioning targeting global researchers.
• MDPI: MDPI is the largest fully open-access scholarly publisher with a multidisciplinary journal portfolio funded by author APCs. It is directly comparable to IJASR on business model (APC), delivery (online OA journals), and target author (researchers seeking fast peer review).
• Dove Medical Press (Taylor & Francis): Dove Press publishes open-access peer-reviewed journals in science and medicine with APCs. It is a direct peer to IJASR on OA journal model, multidisciplinary-adjacent scope, and APC-based revenue mechanics.
• Hindawi (Wiley): Hindawi runs a large suite of peer-reviewed, open-access journals across STEM and social sciences, funded by APCs. It is now part of Wiley but remains a direct comparable on multidisciplinary OA scope and APC pricing tiers for emerging markets.
• Cogent OA (Taylor & Francis): Cogent OA publishes peer-reviewed open-access journals across humanities and social sciences with author APCs. It is a direct peer to IJASR on the OA APC model and online delivery, with comparable multidisciplinary positioning across adjacent fields.
• Frontiers Media: Frontiers operates open-access, peer-reviewed journals across all major scientific disciplines funded through APCs, with a strong emphasis on rapid review and editorial boards. It is a direct peer to IJASR on scope breadth, OA model, and speed-of-review positioning.

Broad incumbents

• PLOS: PLOS is a pioneer open-access publisher operating multidisciplinary journals with APC funding and rigorous peer review. It is a broad incumbent comparable to IJASR on OA model and multidisciplinary scope, though at significantly larger scale and established indexing footprint.
• BioMed Central (Springer Nature): BMC operates hundreds of open-access peer-reviewed journals funded by APCs as part of Springer Nature. It is a broad incumbent peer sharing IJASR's OA APC model and peer-review publishing workflow, with much broader indexing and editorial resources.

Others

• OpenAlex: OpenAlex is an open catalog of scholarly works that indexes IJASR content. It is not a competitor but an ecosystem participant / data vendor that amplifies discovery for small OA journals like IJASR.
