Publication Policy

At the Brooklyn Research and Publishing Institute (BRPI), we are committed to supporting transparent, ethical, and accessible scholarly communication. This publication policy outlines our standards and procedures related to publication fees, copyright, scheduling, DOI assignment, galley proof review, and post-publication processes across all BRPI journals.

Open Access and Licensing

BRPI operates under a Gold Open Access model, ensuring that all published articles are freely available to readers worldwide without any subscription or paywall restrictions. To sustain open access publishing, a publication fee is charged to authors upon manuscript acceptance.

All published articles are released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0). This license allows others to share, use, adapt, and redistribute your work for any lawful purpose, provided appropriate credit is given. Authors retain full copyright and intellectual property rights over their work.

Publication Fee and Waiver Policy

As noted above, 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. BRPI adheres to industry standards in open access publishing and maintains a no full-waiver policy—all applicable fees are uniformly applied according to the criteria outlined above.

Extended Period for Publication Fee

If the author(s) require additional time to make the publication fee payment, a deadline extension may be granted upon request. However, please note that the payment period cannot be extended beyond four (4) weeks from the date the acceptance notice is issued.

Publication Schedule

BRPI follows a continuous publication model. Once a manuscript is accepted and the publication fee is confirmed, the paper is published within seven (7) days, provided the author completes all required steps on time. These steps include final proofreading and confirmation or update of the authors’ email addresses, ORCID iDs (optional), and short biographies.

Delays may occur if authors take additional time to review the galley proof or fail to provide the required materials within the specified deadline. Notably, all papers are published in the current year’s volume and will be included in the final compiled volume released at the end of the year.

DOI Assignment and Crossmark

As an independent member of Crossref, the Brooklyn Research and Publishing Institute (BRPI) assigns a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) to each accepted manuscript. The DOI appears beneath the author's institutional affiliation in the final published version and serves as a permanent, citable link to the article. This unique identifier facilitates indexing, citation, and long-term accessibility.

In addition to the DOI, each article includes a Crossmark icon, which provides a direct link to the most current version of the publication. Through Crossref’s Crossmark service, readers can verify the status of the article, check for updates or corrections, and access related editorial information, ensuring ongoing transparency and scholarly integrity.

Galley Proof

Prior to final publication, the galley proof of the manuscript is provided for review. This stage allows for any necessary corrections or formatting adjustments to ensure compliance with the journal’s publication standards. The galley proof is typically issued within three (3) working days following confirmation of the publication fee payment.

Acceptance Letter and Publication Fee Receipt

Following confirmation of the publication fee, the editorial office issues both the official acceptance letter and the fee receipt within three (3) working days. These documents serve as formal confirmation of payment and final acceptance for publication.

Publication Notice

Upon online publication, the Executive Editor notifies the corresponding author, providing access to the publication link and a downloadable PDF version of the published article. Once the annual volume is complete, a compiled master file—including all published articles, the journal’s cover page, front and back matter, and masthead—is made available online.

Print Copies

Authors who wish to obtain print copies of the journal may purchase them separately. Each print copy is available for USD 50, and orders can be placed after the article has been officially published. The print edition consists of the final compiled volume, which includes all articles published throughout the year.

Corrections and Withdrawal

Post-publication corrections may be requested in cases of significant error. Such requests should be submitted to the Executive Editor within fourteen (14) days of publication. Approved corrections are made at no additional cost. For withdrawal requests after publication, an official written request must be submitted to the Executive Editor. The retraction process will be handled in accordance with the journal’s editorial and ethical policies.

Archiving and Dissemination

All published articles are archived in leading academic platforms, including Google Scholar, ResearchGate, SSRN, Academia.edu, and Scilit. Authors are encouraged to archive their work in institutional repositories or public databases and to link their publication, including the DOI, to their ORCID profiles. For enhanced visibility, authors may also share their published work across academic and professional networks, as well as on social media platforms such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter).

Editorial Support

For any questions or clarification regarding the publication process, the Executive Editor may be contacted at [email protected]. The editorial team remains available to provide assistance at every stage of publication.
