Article Publication Charge

The Nigerian Journal of Technological Development (NJTD) is an open-access journal. As a result, publishing an article in the Journal requires an Article Publication Charge (APC), which will be billed following the article's acceptance. Aside from this, except for extra pages, the Journal does not impose any other charge on the author, be it a submission charge, article processing charge, or colour charge.

The APC will be charged based on the lead author's affiliation. If the lead author has dual affiliations, the affiliation of where the work was carried out will be used. For all submissions made commencing from April 2025, APC will be applied as follows:

Local Papers with its first author's affiliation linked with a Nigerian university will be charged One hundred thousand naira (N100,000) only (This charge applies for submission maintaining a 20-page limit for regular research papers and a 30-page limit for review papers. Please note that every additional page will be processed at N5,000 per page). The same APC applies to short communications/technical notes, but they should not exceed 7 pages.

Foreign Papers with its first author's affiliation linked with universities outside Nigeria will be charged Two hundred and fifty dollars ($250 USD) exclusive of 7.5% VAT. (This charge applies for submission, maintaining a 20-page limit for regular research papers and a 30-page limit for review papers. Please note that every additional page will be processed at $15 per page).

Please note that the author's primary affiliation is referenced for a lead author having more than one affiliation. The APC is non-refundable once the article is published online. Payment can be made by International Bank wire transfer, Western Union Money Transfer, MoneyGram, or Online money transfer. The Managing Editor will send payment instructions to the corresponding author after the paper is accepted. The evidence of payment should be uploaded to the portal against submission immediately after payment.
