Publication Fees

Publication fee

Upon editorial acceptance of an article the corresponding author will be issued with an invoice for payment of an Article Processing Charge (APC), to cover the costs associated with running the journal. Please note that no articles will be published until the APC has been paid.  The journal follows the HINARI/Research4Life waiver policy for developing countries.

Full papers: EUR1990/USD2110

Supplementary material involves a fee of 25 €/26,5 $ per file to cover administration costs, but video files will be published free of charge.

We advise prompt payment of the APC so that the article can be published as soon as the article proof has been approved.
