Siri Research Foundation is committed to providing fully open-access book publishing, allowing readers to access published books free of charge and reuse them in accordance with the applicable Creative Commons (CC BY) license.
To support open-access publishing, a Book Processing Charge (BPC) is applicable after the book proposal and manuscript have successfully completed the required editorial and quality-review process. The charge helps cover services such as cover design, typesetting, plagiarism screening, publishing and content management systems, online hosting, DOI registration, and repository/indexing support.
