    IPR in the past (as Research Scholar, Post Doc) when the work was carried out/initiated.

    page charges by IPR. In exceptional cases (answering referee queries etc.,) excess page

    authors for excess page payment will not be permitted.

5) Color figures/images in print journals incurring additional charges will not be permitted
    irrespective of the impact factor of the journal.

    impact factor journals (>3) and library committee needs to be informed about the same
    prior to submission.
