Journal of Biology and Medicine: Open Access

Why Does the Journal of Biology and Medicine: Open Access Charge an Article Processing Charge (APC)?

The Journal of Biology and Medicine: Open Access is committed to publishing high-quality, peer-reviewed research while ensuring that all published articles remain freely accessible to readers worldwide without subscription or access fees.

To support the editorial and publication process, an Article Processing Charge (APC) is normally payable only after a manuscript has been accepted for publication. The APC helps cover the costs associated with manuscript handling, peer review administration, production, online publication, and long-term accessibility.

The APC supports services including:

• Initial editorial assessment and manuscript management.
• Similarity (plagiarism) screening.
• Coordination of the peer-review process.
• Editorial quality checks and production support.
• Article typesetting and formatting.
• Assignment of publication metadata.
• Online publication and long-term article accessibility.
• Website maintenance and digital archiving.
• Administrative and editorial support throughout the publication process.

Editorial decisions are completely independent of APC payment. Manuscripts are accepted solely on the basis of scientific quality, originality, ethical compliance, and relevance to the journal's scope.
