Business Model Statement

The International Journal of Clinical Medicine and Pharmacology (IJCMP) operates as a fully open-access journal, ensuring that all published content is freely available to readers worldwide without financial or technical barriers. Our business model supports sustainable and ethical publishing practices while maintaining the highest standards of academic quality.

Article Processing Charges (APCs)

To cover the costs associated with peer review, editorial services, production, and online hosting, IJCMP applies an Article Processing Charge (APC) of USD 80 per accepted manuscript.

• No additional fees are charged at any stage of the publication process. This includes no submission fees, editorial processing charges, page charges, or color charges.
• The APC is only payable after the manuscript has been accepted for publication following a rigorous peer-review process.

APC Waivers and Discounts

IJCMP is committed to fostering global academic participation and inclusivity.

• ​Authors from low-income countries​, as defined by international standards, are eligible for a ​50% APC waiver​.
• Authors affiliated with universities or research institutions that have established collaborative agreements with IJCMP are eligible for a ​full APC waiver​.

Authors requesting a waiver must provide supporting documentation during the submission process.

No Charges for Withdrawals

Authors may withdraw their manuscripts at any stage of the submission or review process without incurring any charges.

Commitment to Transparency

IJCMP is dedicated to full transparency in its fee structure and waiver policies. There are no hidden costs or additional fees beyond the stated APC. This approach aligns with our mission to provide equitable access to high-quality academic research.
