Refund & Cancellation Policy
At the International Journal of Cross-Disciplinary Research and Innovation (IJCDRI), we strive to provide a seamless and transparent experience for all our authors, reviewers, and collaborators. Below is our comprehensive Refund & Cancellation Policy
1. Manuscript Submission Fees
- Non-Refundable Policy: The manuscript submission fee (if applicable) is non-refundable. Once a manuscript is submitted, the processing begins immediately, and the fee is utilized for review and administrative purposes.
- Ineligible Refund Requests: No refund will be issued in cases of manuscript rejection due to plagiarism, lack of novelty, or non-compliance with journal guidelines.
2. Article Processing Charges (APCs)
- Refund Before Review Initiation: If a withdrawal request is made before the peer review process begins, a refund of 50% of the APC is applicable to cover administrative expenses.
- No Refund Post-Review: Refunds will not be granted if the manuscript has undergone the peer-review process or has been accepted for publication.
