The Research Journal of Maaref University of Applied Sciences (RJMU) is committed to supporting open access publishing without financial barriers to authors.

RJMU does not charge any fees to authors at any stage of the publication process.

There are:

• no article processing charges (APCs);
• no submission fees;
• no editorial processing charges;
• no peer review fees;
• no page charges;
• no language editing charges;
• no colour charges;
• no publication fees of any kind.

All articles accepted for publication in RJMU are published in full open access and are made available online free of charge to readers immediately upon publication.

The absence of author fees does not affect the journal’s editorial standards. All submissions are evaluated solely on academic quality, originality, relevance to the journal’s scope, and the outcome of the peer review process. Author payment or non-payment plays no role in editorial decision-making. This aligns with DOAJ’s transparency principles on author fees and editorial independence.

Questions about publication fees or journal policies may be directed to the journal through its official contact page and official journal email address.
