Article Processing Charge

Article Processing Charges (APC)

The Journal of Advanced Research in Medical and Health Science (ISSN 2208-2425) operates under an Affordable Publication Charge (APC) policy to facilitate the accessibility of high-quality research. Our APC policy is designed to cover publication costs while maintaining financial accessibility for authors. For standard submissions APC is set at 300 USD per accepted manuscript. This nominal fee aims to cover the costs associated with the publication process while minimizing financial barriers for authors.

For funded articles, where external funding or institutional support is acknowledged, the APC is 899 USD per accepted manuscript. This higher APC for funded articles helps offset additional production costs and ensures the sustainability of the journal's operations.
