Waiver Policy
At JLSAR, we understand that some institutions may have limited funding for their research activities. Thus, we have instituted a generous waiver system that may ease the payment of the manuscript handling fee when their researchers choose to publish their manuscripts in our journal. Our primary goal as stated in our mission is to accelerate the dissemination of knowledge through the publication of high-quality research articles. We are continually pursuing this goal, without putting an undue financial burden on researchers or their institutions. Hence, we have instituted the following waiver policy.

Authors from Low-Income Countries may be granted up to 100% waiver.
Authors from Lower Middle-Income Countries may be granted up to a 75% waiver.
