Third-Party Publication and Payment Norms – Terms & Conditions
RFI and RFI CARE function as research societies that facilitate the organization of academic conferences and provide access to third-party publication avenues. Authors intending to publish their work through conferences associated with RFI/RFI CARE are advised to carefully review and comply with the terms and conditions of the respective third-party publishers, including policies related to Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and publications indexed in UGC CARE–listed and Scopus-indexed journals. The responsibility for ensuring originality, compliance with publication standards, and freedom from plagiarism rests solely with the third-party publisher. Please note that RFI and RFI CARE are not directly involved in journal publication activities.
Any refund request must be submitted by the participant via email and will be processed within a maximum of 30 days from the date of application, subject to applicable terms.
Authors and participants are required to independently verify all journal links and the authenticity of Scopus-indexed publications, including journal domains, before submitting papers for conference-based publication.
RFI and RFI CARE do not provide direct journal publication services. Manuscripts are forwarded only through conference proceedings to third-party publishers, as applicable.
The registration fee is applicable solely for providing contact details through the official RFI/RFI CARE portal. Payments made to any individual, third party, or account other than those officially listed on the RFI/RFI CARE portal (including verified account numbers or QR codes) will not be the responsibility of RFI or RFI CARE. Participants are therefore advised to make payments only through officially authorized channels.
All submitted papers and research works are expected to comply with copyright and publication ethics. Authors must ensure that plagiarism checks are completed and cleared for all contributors prior to submission for conference-related publication.
Regards,
Director
RFI CARE
