JOURNAL WAIVER LETTER
Dear Dr. James Robertson,
I am writing to formally request a waiver of the publication fee for my manuscript titled “Sustainable Practices in Urban Agriculture: A Case Study of Greenfield,” which I recently submitted to The International Journal of Environmental Innovations. I understand that the standard fee of $1,500 is essential for covering the journal's operational costs; however, I would like to explain the circumstances that have led to this request.
As an early-career sustainability researcher, my work is funded by a limited grant for fieldwork, equipment, and data analysis, but it does not cover publication fees, and I have exhausted other resources. My research on sustainable urban agriculture offers valuable insights into global environmental challenges and aligns with The International Journal of Environmental Innovations' mission, with the potential to inspire further research and practical applications.
Additionally, I am committed to open access and the broader dissemination of scientific knowledge. A waiver of the publication fee would allow me to make this research accessible to a wider audience, including policymakers, educators, and practitioners who may not have access to subscription-based journals.
I'm happy to provide any additional documents, like grant proof or financial details, to support my waiver request. I hope you will favorably consider my application, as it would significantly aid my academic progress and contribution to environmental science. Thank you for your understanding and consideration. I look forward to your positive response and am eager to work with your esteemed journal.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
Assistant Professor of Environmental Science
