FEE POLICY

Open Access Commitment and Universal Accessibility

SUKUK: International Journal of Banking, Finance, Management and Business operates as a fully Open Access journal dedicated to the universal dissemination of scholarly research across Islamic financial systems, banking, corporate management, and economics. To foster global academic exchange and eliminate financial barriers for researchers worldwide, the journal implements a zero-fee publication framework. Authors are not subjected to mandatory Article Processing Charges (APCs), submission fees, page charges, or editorial processing costs. Likewise, readers, libraries, and academic institutions enjoy immediate, unrestricted access to all full-text published works without subscription fees, paywalls, or download charges.

Operational Sustainability and Editorial Safeguards

Journal operations, technical infrastructure, and long-term digital preservation are independently sustained through publisher sponsorship and institutional funding from SUKUK Journal, United Kingdom. To support ongoing technological development and open-access infrastructure, authors or institutional supporters may be presented with an entirely optional opportunity to make voluntary journal development contributions. However, any voluntary contribution is strictly decoupled from editorial decision-making. Editorial evaluations—from manuscript triage and double-blind peer review through to final publication acceptance—are conducted with total autonomy by the Editor-in-Chief and the international Editorial Board, grounded exclusively on scientific merit, academic integrity, and research quality.
