Publication Fee

Article-processing charges (APC)

Open access publishing proposes a relatively new model for scholarly journal publishing that provides immediate, worldwide, barrier-free access to the full-text of all published articles. Open access allows all interested readers to view, download, print, and redistribute any article without a subscription, enabling far greater distribution of an author's work than the traditional subscription-based publishing model. Many authors in a variety of fields have begun to realize the benefits that open access publishing can provide in terms of increasing the impact of their work.

In an open-access model, the publication costs of an article are paid from an author's research budget, or by their supporting institution, in the form of Article Processing Charges (APC). These APCs replace subscription charges and allow publishers to make the full-text of every published article freely available to all interested readers. In addition, authors who publish in our open access journals retain the copyright of their work, which is released under a “Creative Commons Attribution License, enabling the unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction of an article in any medium, provided that the original work is properly cited.

Galen Medical Journal (GMJ) is an Open Access journal. Publishing an article in GMJ requires APC that will be billed to the submitting author following the acceptance of an article for publication. Apart from these APCs, there are no submission charges, page charges, or color charges. The fees to be paid following the acceptance of an article are indicated below:
