WAIVER POLICY: 
To promote accessibility and encourage the dissemination of knowledge, the journal provides a Waiver Policy for authors who are unable to pay the article processing charges (APC) due to financial constraints.

Therefore, we have implemented a generous waiver system to ease the payment of the manuscript handling fee when researchers choose to publish their manuscripts in any of IJGCS’s journals. 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 working toward this goal without placing undue financial burden on researchers or their institutions. Hence, we have instituted the following waiver policy:
