ANVESHAN is committed to maintaining a sustainable, high-quality open-access publishing workflow without compromising editorial rigor.

Financial Waivers & Equity Support: To ensure financial constraints do not hinder scholarly dissemination:
Low-Income Economies: Corresponding authors affiliated with institutions in countries designated as “Low-Income Economies” (according to World Bank classifications) may apply for a 100% full fee waiver.
Lower-Middle Income Economies: Corresponding authors from “Lower-Middle Income Economies” may apply for a 50% partial fee waiver.
Waiver requests must be formally submitted to the editorial desk during the initial manuscript submission phase.
