Advancements in computer-generated sensory technologies have made the concept of believable virtual environments a reality. New questions are raised as to how these can be applied in diverse disciplines such as arts, business, commerce, defense, design, education, entertainment, gaming, manufacturing, science, and telecommunications.
The International Journal of Virtual and Augmented Reality (IJVAR) presents interdisciplinary research which span the social and physical sciences. Article types include full research papers (5,000 - 7,000 words), work-in-progress reports (2,000 words), and scholarly perspectives of virtual and augmented reality concepts (2,000 words).
Mission & Scope:
The International Journal of Virtual and Augmented Reality (IJVAR) publishes research that focuses both on novel paradigms and in applied research that explores and extends the use of the technologies of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR).

The International Journal of Virtual and Augmented Reality (IJVAR) publishes research that focuses both on novel paradigms and in applied research that explores and extends the use of the technologies of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR). The journal publishes solutions dealing with real-life issues in different knowledge domains from engineering and science to arts and humanities, including ad-hoc solutions. The journal encourages interdisciplinary applied research and presents a forum for novel solutions considering a wide range of techniques that includes mixed reality, simulation, human-computer interaction, and collaborative spaces. IJVAR is designed to provide scholars, practitioners, academics, and others using virtual and augmented reality technologies, rigorously informed studies that can support decision-making activities.

What Does IGI Global's Open Access APC Cover?
In the traditional subscription-based model, the cost to the publisher to produce each article is covered by the revenue generated by journal subscriptions.

- Digital tools used to support the manuscript management and review process
- Typesetting, formatting and layout
- Online hosting
- Submission of the journal's content to numerous abstracts, directories, and indexes
- Third-party software (e.g. plagiarism checks)
- Editorial support which includes manuscript tracking, communications, submission guideline checks, and communications with authors and reviewers
- All promotional support and activities which include metadata distribution, press releases, promotional communications, web content, ads, fliers, brochures, postcards, etc. for the journal and its published contents
- The fact that all published articles will be freely accessible and able to be posted and disseminated widely by
the authors - Professional line-by-line English language copy editing and proofreading*
*This service is only performed on article manuscripts with fully paid (not discounted or waived) APC fees.
APC Subsidizing and Funding
To assist researchers in covering the costs of the APC in OA publishing, there are various sources of OA funding.
