As part of the University’s commitment to promote quality research, the authors are provided with the financial support to cover the Article Processing Charges.
For such publications which involve authors from outside institutions the APC reimbursed shall be proportional to the number of faculty/student authors with Amrita Affiliation.
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.

Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham covers the publication charges incurred by an author towards publishing his/her research article in a peer reviewed good impact factor journal. As it is difficult to draw a common line of standard for ensuring minimum standard of journals to be considered for open access publishing it is recommended to each Research Heads to review and evaluate the individual requests received from their School/Center for open access publishing and give recommendations to the Provost.
