The International Journal of Law, Education and Social Science (IJLESS) is a self-funded, open-access journal that does not receive financial support from any institution or government body. To maintain the quality of publication and support essential journal operations—including peer review, editing, typesetting, online hosting, and digital archiving—an Article Processing Charge (APC) is collected only after the acceptance of a manuscript.

Being an open-access journal, IJLESS provides immediate and free access to all published articles, ensuring that readers can view, download, print, and share content without any financial barrier. There are no submission fees, page charges, or color printing fees.

Refund Policy

The Article Processing Charges are non-refundable once the article has been published online. The refund policy is as follows:
