Publishing a review article for free

can be challenging, but it's possible if you choose the right journal and follow certain strategies. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Choose Open Access Journals with No Fees

Some open-access journals do not charge authors for publication. Look for journals that mention “no article processing charges (APCs)” or “no publication fees” on their websites.
Examples include some journals published by government or non-profit organizations, smaller academic journals, or newer journals trying to attract submissions.

2. Consider Submitting to Traditional Journals
Traditional journals (subscription-based) usually do not charge authors for publication. However, access to your article might be limited to subscribers.

You can look for traditional journals in your field and submit your review article there.

Steps to Find Free Journals:

Use Journals (IJSET): The IJSET is a reputable directory that lists open access journals. You can filter your search to find journals that do not charge fees.

Check the Journal's Website: Review the journal’s publication policy and look for any mention of fees. Some journals might have a “No fee” policy or provide clear instructions on how to apply for a waiver.

**Contact the Journal: **If you’re unsure, email the journal’s editorial office to ask about their fee structure and possible waivers.

By following these steps, you increase your chances of publishing your review article for free.
