All the journals of SciTeMed Publishing Group follow the Open Access Policy of publication, there is no charge for subscription or "pay-per-view" fees, all the journals’ contents are freely accessible over the internet.
SciTeMed Publishing Group is a self-supporting organization and does not receive funding from any institution/government. Thus, the management of the journals is solely financed by the Article Processing Charges received from authors. Article Processing Charges are required to cover operations expenses such as employees’ salaries, server hosting, web and application development, data maintenance, professional/regulatory fees, and other infrastructure expenses.
There is no fee for submitting an article, an Article Processing Charge is incurred when an article is accepted prior to publication. Article Processing Charges vary and are based on different criteria for each journal. Please see Article Processing Charge section for more details.
We understand that some individuals or institutions may have limited funding for their research. To accelerate the dissemination of high-quality publications without putting undue financial burden on researchers or their institutions. We have instituted an Article Processing Charge Waiver System that may ease the payment of the article processing charge. Please see Waivers and Discounts section for more details.
Traditional publishers reap high profits by putting up several barriers to dissemination of research results, including (1) charging fees to authors and imposing restrictions on copyright; and (2) imposing high prices to readers and libraries in order to maintain high profits and an obsolete infrastructure. Although open access publishing models provide efficient methods for disseminating research findings, the article processing fees remain expensive and unfordable for authors, in particular young researchers.
An exploitative open-access publishing business model involves charging publication fees to authors without providing editorial and publishing services. Some of the fraudulent and predatory journals even accept poor quality articles as long as authors pay them for Article Processing Charges. You can determine whether journals are predatory by reviewing their websites, quality of PDF as well as transparent review system. Be cautious not to be misled by predatory practices into publishing with them, in particular if your articles are accepted without any reviewing, and all they request you is to pay the fees for publication.

Authors from Low or Lower Middle-Income Countries may be granted up to 30-50% waiver. Article Processing Charge waiver is approved on a case-by-case basis. It is not unusual for authors to be granted full waivers, especially authors from low income countries.
Please note that editorial decisions are never influenced by authors’ ability to pay. Editors of SciTeMed’s journals are not involved in correspondence with authors regarding payment of Article Publication Charges. The waiver system will be managed by administrative staff not involved in decisions regarding article acceptance.
