PROCESSING CHARGE (APC)

The academic Journal of Medical Anatomy and Physiology embraces a fully open-access model, ensuring unrestricted utilization and reuse of all published articles while duly acknowledging the authors.

To sustain this model, authors are required to cover a one-time Article Processing Charge (APC), encompassing expenses related to peer review administration, article production in PDF and other formats, dissemination of papers across various platforms, and other publishing functions. No fees are imposed for rejected submissions, and there are no additional charges based on article length, figures, or supplementary data.

In contrast to conventional publishers, Open Access publishers such as the Academic Journal of Medical Anatomy and Physiology do not rely on subscription sales for revenue. Instead, we ensure free accessibility to all articles. Consequently, an Article Processing Charge (APC) is applicable upon acceptance for publication, ensuring the sustainability of this open-access approach.

Article Processing Charges

  • Foreign Authors: 50 USD 
  • Indian Authors: INR 2000

It's important to note that authors bear any transaction fees incurred. Publication decisions at the Academic Journal of Medical Anatomy and Physiology are entirely driven by editorial criteria, remaining unaffected by fee payments. Corrections to manuscripts are provided free of charge if requested within 3 days of online publication under the "Issue in Progress" section.

Once an article is assigned a volume, issue number, and DOI, changes will be implemented only after payment of applicable charges, equivalent to 50% of the article processing fees. Authors have the option to pay via Direct Deposit or online methods like net banking, NEFT, or IMPS.

Notably, payments by cheque or demand draft are not accepted.

Please Note: There are currently no Article Processing Charges (APC) for this journal. All publication expenses are covered by the SPJ Charitable Trust.
