APC Discount & Waiver Policy – Conscientia Beam

At Conscientia Beam, Article Processing Charges (APCs) sustain essential publishing services including peer review, editorial work, production, hosting, archiving, and platform maintenance. To promote equitable access to scholarly publishing, we offer a structured APC Discount & Waiver Policy for authors facing financial barriers.

Objectives
The policy supports early-career researchers and authors from UN-classified Least Developed Countries (LDCs), enabling important research to reach a global audience.

Discount Categories

  1. Full Waiver – Top 2% Most Cited Scientists (2024/2025)
    For corresponding authors listed among the Top 2% Most Cited Scientists (as per Stanford/Elsevier or equivalent).
  2. 50% Discount – LDC Authors
    For authors whose primary affiliation is in a UN-designated LDC, with proof of institutional affiliation.
  3. 50% Discount – Student Authors
    For manuscripts where the corresponding author (and most co-authors) are current students, with proof of enrolment and financial need.

Application
Request a Discount Application Form via waiver@conscientiabeam.com after manuscript acceptance. Submit with all required documentation for evaluation. Discounts are not retroactive and granted once every two years.

This policy reflects our commitment to making scholarly publishing inclusive, fair, and accessible.
