BJMSR is an open access journal which provides instant, worldwide and barrier-free access to the full-text of all published articles. Publication charges allow the publisher to make the published material available for free to all interested online readers. This charge includes all costs of the peer-review process, systems, typesetting, web publication, and long-term archiving. If this manuscript is accepted for publication, you will be asked to pay an Article Publication Charge to cover publication costs. There is no Article Submission Charge for the BJMSR Journal.

Open Access Article Processing Charge for “BJMSR” for the authors with affiliation in High-Income Countries or Upper Middle-Income Countries is 995 $, APC for the authors with affiliation in Lower Middle-Income Countries is 795 $ and APC for the authors with affiliation in Low-Income Countries is 695 $.

Note 1: Please note that APCs will not be refunded due to the retraction of an article.

Note 2: In rare cases where articles are entirely removed after acceptance for publication, we will not refund or credit an APC. This is because BJMSR Journal has provided publishing services and is only able to recoup this investment through the article processing charge (APC).

Note 3: Fast-track options: Offer an expedited review lane (e.g., ‘fast review’ within six weeks) for an additional fee equal to twice the standard publication charge.

Waiver Policy

For authors from low-income countries, waivers or discounts may be granted on a case-by-case basis. Applications submitted before article submission are assessed by the Executive Manager based on the quality of the research article and the authors’ ability to pay.
