Waiver Eligibility

Here’s a sample Waiver Eligibility statement for the Mayo RC Journal of Communication for a Sustainable World (MRCJCSW) in paragraph form:

The Mayo RC Journal of Communication for a Sustainable World (MRCJCSW) offers waiver eligibility for authors who face financial hardship and are unable to pay the article processing charges (APCs) associated with publishing in the journal. Authors may request a waiver of APCs by submitting a formal request at the time of manuscript submission, explaining their financial situation and the need for assistance. Waivers will be granted based on the journal’s assessment of the author’s circumstances, such as funding limitations, economic challenges, or other valid reasons.

Authors who are eligible for a waiver will be notified prior to the manuscript's acceptance for publication.
