Fee waiver request

From the GJI author instructions:

If you are not eligible for the Developing Countries Initiative but are unable to pay the APC for your article, the RAS and OUP also grant a number of discretionary waivers on a case-by-case basis. If you would like to be considered for a discretionary partial or full waiver, please complete this form, and send it to Journals Author Support at [email protected]. The application will need to be sent at the same time as your submission. You will be required to load the waiver acceptance (if relevant) upon “First Look”.
