Article Processing Charges

The International Journal of Embryo Cryobiology and Reproductive Sciences follows a transparent approach to article processing and publication charges. Authors should review the applicable publication fee information before submitting or accepting an article for publication.

1. Article Processing Charge

Article Processing Charge (APC): To be updated according to the official journal fee structure.

Any applicable APC should be clearly communicated to authors by the journal.

2. When the APC Applies

Where an APC is applicable, it is generally associated with the publication of an accepted manuscript and is not a fee for the scientific merit or peer-review outcome of a submission.

Editorial and peer-review decisions should remain independent of payment considerations.

3. Submission Fee

There should be no assumption that a fee is required merely to submit a manuscript unless an official journal policy specifically states otherwise.

Submission Fee: To be updated according to the official journal policy.

4. Possible Publication Services

Where applicable, article processing charges may support services associated with:

  • Editorial processing
  • Peer-review administration
  • Manuscript preparation and production
  • Online publication
  • Article hosting and accessibility
  • Digital preservation and archiving
  • Publishing platform maintenance

5. Waivers and Discounts

Authors who may have difficulty meeting applicable publication charges may check whether waivers, discounts, or other financial assistance are available.

Waiver/Discount Policy: To be updated according to the official journal policy.

Any approved waiver or discount should be confirmed with the editorial or publishing office.

6. Payment

If an APC applies, payment instructions and the applicable amount should be communicated through the journal's official publishing process.

Authors should verify the payment details before making any payment.

7. Transparency

The journal aims to maintain transparency regarding publication charges and related financial policies. Authors should be informed of any applicable fees before publication.

8. Author Responsibility

Authors are responsible for reviewing the applicable fee information and ensuring that all required publication-related charges are addressed according to the journal's official policies.
