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. The APC depends on the article type and the journal follows the HINARI/Research4Life waiver policy for developing countries:

  • Full reports (original articles, reviews, special reports, etc.) - a maximum of 3000 words (from introduction to the end of discussion sections) and 5-6 figures/tables/graphs (up to 4000 words for reviews): €1600/USD1750
  • Short communications* (short case reports, etc) that do not exceed 2 typeset pages (inclusive of references and figures/tables): €400/USD440
  • Research Letters (brief definite reports, not exceed 750 words, and a maximum of 5 authors and 8 references) should (maximum 2 tables/and or figures): €400/USD440
  • Quizzes with 150-200 words in the case presentation and approximately 900 words in the discussion: €300/USD330

Supplementary material involves a fee of 25 €/ 27,50 USD/file to cover administration costs, but video files will be published free of charge.

We advise prompt payment of the APC.

*The review process is the same for full papers and brief definite reports, but brief definite reports will be published as "Short Communications". Thus, they are not second or third class but simply contain data that can be communicated in a short, crisp fashion instead of being published as full reports.
