Journal BiNET is a community driven publishing platform since the year 2014. We publish scientific articles in online open access and peer review journals. The cost of maintenance of online journals is becoming higher day by day due to website maintenance, external archiving of journal articles with bodies such as CLOCKSS/LOCKS/PORTICO, digital object identifier (DOI) fees from CrossRef, fees related to technical personnel(s) who maintain website activities, plagiarism checking fees with external bodies such as Turnitine/iThenticate/Plagscan, article editing and text setup according to journal formats. All these expenses create burden to small publisher like us (Journal BiNET). In addition, each year we have to publish many article with full and partial waiver, because some authors are not able to pay open access publication fees to publish their article. We always strive to maintain higher quality with the article published in our platform.

Your contribution can help us to grow as a independent publisher and we can waive more and more authors with waiver for article publication fees. For this reason one of our dedicated executive editor initiated a fund raiser for Journal BiNET.

Help us with the cause as little as you can, create greater readership and contribution of science through scientific article to the society.
