ARTICLE PUBLISHING CHARGE
Why does CRI Journals charge publication fees from authors?
All original research papers published by CRI Journals are made freely and permanently accessible online immediately upon publication. We guarantee that no university library or individual reader will ever have to pay any pay-per-view fees to access articles in the electronic version of any journal. There is hence no revenue at CRI Journals from the sale of subscriptions to the electronic version or from pay-per-view fees. Yet, the online publication process does involve costs including those pertaining to setup and maintenance of the publication infrastructure, routine operation of the journal, processing of manuscripts through peer-reviews, editing, publishing with DOI, maintaining the scholarly record, and archiving. To cover these costs, CRI Journals charges publication fees (also called Article Publishing Charges, henceforth APC) from authors and subscription charges only for its printed version.
CRI Journals offers the following licenses for all the journals:

Gold open access publication fee
