Publication Fee Waiver Policy

We offer a complete or partial fee waiver on a case-by-case basis for individual authors or author groups affiliated with a university or institute in Low-income or Lower-middle-income economies as defined by the World Bank (please see World Bank Country and Lending Groups). If the author group includes researchers from universities or institutes in high-income economies, the publication fee will likely not be waived.

For more information, please contact the Editorial office (support@BioMedTree.org) before submitting your manuscript. Requests for waivers for manuscripts that are already under peer review or have been typeset will not be granted.

The corresponding author must send the following information in the letter of request, together with any supporting documents:

– Manuscript title

– Article category

– Names and titles of all authors

– Institutional affiliations of all authors

– Type of waiver requested: Partial (indicate the amount you can pay in USD) or Full

– Reason for waiver application

Please note that if a project has been funded but no money has been reserved for publication, i.e. funds have been exhausted prior to the publication process, requests will be declined.

Editors and reviewers have no access to author payment information. Inability to pay will not influence their editorial decision.
