As it is difficult to draw a common line of standard across all the disciplines to ascertain the quality of the journals, a case by case approach shall be followed for the reimbursement of the Article Processing Charges. Every author who requires support for covering the Article Processing Charges shall obtain a pre approval from the Research Head. The Research Head shall, with the aid of the committee members, assess the merit and quality of the publication, quality of the journal before giving the pre approval. This pre approval shall be forwarded to the Office of The Provost. The final decision will be taken by The Provost.
