Publication Fee and Waiver Policy

The Brooklyn Research and Publishing Institute (BRPI) operates under a Gold Open Access model, ensuring that all published articles are freely accessible to the public without subscription barriers.

Publication Fee

Authors from high- and middle-income countries are required to pay a publication fee of USD 400 per accepted manuscript. A reduced fee of USD 300 applies to authors from low-income countries, as well as to PhD scholars and unemployed researchers or academics.

Waiver Conditions

The USD 100 fee reduction for PhD scholars and unemployed researchers is only applicable if the manuscript has no more than two authors (including the eligible author). If a paper has more than two authors, the standard publication fee of USD 400 applies regardless of the authors' academic or economic status.

Low-income countries are defined as those with a Gross National Income (GNI) per capita below USD 3,000.

Additional Information

1. The publication fee is only charged after the paper has been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication.
2. Print copies of the journal may be purchased separately for USD 50 per copy.
3. All published articles are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License, allowing for unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction, provided the original work is properly cited.

CrossMark Policy

DOI: https://doi.org/10.15640/crossmark-policy

At The Brooklyn Research and Publishing Institute (BRPI), we are committed to maintaining the integrity and accuracy of the scholarly record. To support this, we implement the CrossMark initiative from Crossref, which provides a standardized way for readers to identify the current status of a document and access any updates, corrections, or retractions.

The CrossMark icon is placed on the HTML and PDF versions of our published articles. By clicking the CrossMark icon, readers can verify that they are viewing the most recent and authoritative version of the article.

What Does CrossMark Indicate?

When you see the CrossMark logo on an article published by BRPI, it means that the publisher is committed to:

• Keeping the content up to date
• Providing transparency regarding updates, corrections, or retractions
• Maintaining a clear version-of-record for all published content

Types of Updates We Provide via CrossMark

Corrections: For minor errors that do not affect the overall findings of the paper.
Retractions: For major issues such as ethical breaches, data fabrication, or significant errors that invalidate the findings.
Addenda: For additional information related to the original article.
Editorial Notes: For publisher or editorial team notices related to the article.
Article Version Updates: For any version changes, such as post-publication revisions or updates to supplementary material.

Metadata and Maintenance

As part of our CrossMark implementation, we regularly submit article metadata, including update history, to Crossref. This ensures that anyone accessing our content through the CrossMark system will receive the latest information about an article’s status and any updates it has undergone.

Look for the CrossMark logo on both the PDF version of the article and its homepage on our website to verify the publication’s current status and access any updates.

Plagiarism Policy

The editorial board is very strict regarding plagiarism. The journal believes that taking the ideas and work of others without giving them credit is unfair and dishonest.
