This statement is published for transparency under the Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing (COPE / DOAJ / OASPA / WAME).

• IJ Press is an open-access publisher. Its publishing costs are met principally through Article Processing Charges (APCs) where these apply; fee waivers and reductions are available (see the Waiver Policy and the Article Processing Charges page).
• The journal does not sell advertising space and does not derive editorial revenue from third parties.
• Editorial independence: decisions to accept or reject are based solely on scholarly quality and fit, and are entirely independent of payment. A submitting author’s ability to pay never influences editorial decisions, and editors and reviewers are not paid per acceptance.
