Medical & Health Studies is committed to supporting the dissemination of scholarly knowledge in the fields of medical sciences, public health, nursing, pharmacy, clinical studies, biomedical sciences, health policy, health management, epidemiology, and interdisciplinary health research. The journal applies a transparent publication fee policy to ensure that authors, readers, reviewers, and institutions clearly understand the publication process.
Authors are not required to pay any fee when submitting manuscripts to Medical & Health Studies. Manuscript submission, initial screening, editorial assessment, and peer review processes are conducted without any submission charge.
For the current publication period, Medical & Health Studies does not charge authors any Article Processing Charge (APC). Accepted manuscripts will be published without publication fees as part of the journal’s commitment to encouraging open access publication and wider dissemination of medical and health research.
The journal does not request payment at the submission stage, review stage, revision stage, or acceptance stage. Editorial decisions are based solely on the quality, originality, relevance, methodological rigor, ethical compliance, scientific validity, and academic contribution of the manuscript, not on the authors’ ability to pay publication fees.
All published articles are made available online to support open access to knowledge and wider academic dissemination. Readers may access published articles without subscription or access fees.
Any optional services outside the standard editorial and publication process, such as professional language editing, translation, layout assistance, similarity checking, statistical consultation, figure formatting, reference management, or academic writing consultation, are not part of the journal’s official Article Processing Charge and are not required for publication.
If there are any changes to the Article Processing Charge policy in the future, the journal will announce the updated information clearly on the official journal website. Any future changes will not affect manuscripts that have already been submitted before the policy update.
By submitting a manuscript to Medical & Health Studies, authors acknowledge and agree with this Article Processing Charge policy.
