Dear Community,

We are thrilled to announce a new APC discount and waiver policy designed exclusively for our dedicated reviewers and editors. This policy recognizes the invaluable contributions of our reviewers and editors, whose expertise and hard work help us maintain the high standards of our journal.

Key Highlights:

• Reviewers: We offer a discount voucher to reviewers as a token of appreciation for manuscripts where they are the corresponding author with an expiry date of 12 months.
• Editors: Active editors are eligible for a 50% waiver on APCs for up to two manuscripts per year where they are the corresponding author and first author.

These benefits reflect our commitment to encouraging scholarly contributions from our editorial community and our appreciation for their continued support.

Eligibility Criteria

• Reviewers must have completed a minimum of five reviews in the preceding 12 months and must have received positive feedback on the quality of their reviews to qualify for the discount.
• Editors must be currently active in their roles and have handled at least 10/20 manuscripts in the past year to qualify for the discount or waiver.

Application Process

• Eligible reviewers and editors must indicate their intent to use their discount or waiver at the time of manuscript submission by mentioning their role and providing a brief history of their contributions.
• The journal office will verify eligibility before the manuscript undergoes the review process.

Terms and Conditions

• Discounts or waivers cannot be transferred or used in conjunction with other discounts.
• The APC discount for reviewers and the waiver for editors apply only to articles where the individual is the corresponding author and first author.

We hope that this new policy will inspire our reviewers and editors to engage even more deeply with our community by submitting their research for publication.

Thank you all for your dedication and contributions to making Innovation Economics Frontiers a leader in our field.

Warm regards,

Dr. Israr Ahmad
