APCs, Waivers, and Discounts

• What if I cannot pay the APC?

  For 榴莲视频 Network Open and JAMA Health Forum these are fully open access journals. Authors are expected to coordinate payment of the APC for every research article accepted for publication.

Requests for this consideration should be made to the editorial office, not the decision-making editor, during the revision stage.

If an author cannot pay the APC, the article may be published under the 榴莲视频 Network鈥檚 standard Publishing Agreement, which requires transfer of copyright.

• Are there discounts for the APC?

  Waivers are offered based on the country of residence of the corresponding authors. Waivers and discounts are available for authors from a core list of countries in the developing world as defined by the World Health Organization as part of their Research4Life program. The list of countries, updated yearly, is available here.

• What should I expect during the billing process?

  榴莲视频 Network works with Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) to process all payments. After an article is accepted, Copyright Clearance Center will send an email to the corresponding author with information about how to access the payment portal. Authors may choose to pay by credit card or to create an invoice. Invoices may be forwarded to an institution, funder, or other author for payment.

• How do I know if my institution has a special billing agreement with 榴莲视频 Network?
