Fees
Fees are charged by Medfors Sweden, in USD, via Stripe. The first papers may be invoiced by the office before checkout is wired on the site.
| Fee | When | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Technical processing (TPF) | English master file ready, before Release | 50 USD per article |
| Article processing (APC) | Author requests Approved, before DOI | 800 USD per article |
| Translation (optional) | Office Chinese-to-English | 0.20 USD per English word |
No TPF if the technical check fails. TPF is not refunded after Release. No APC if the paper never requests Approved. Authors who supply a fit English version are not charged for translation. Translation is not bundled with APC.
Review waivers for TPF
Each accepted formal review earns one TPF waiver (50 USD). Waivers stack, apply only to that person’s later submissions, are not transferable, are not cash, and do not pay the APC. Slapdash reports earn no waiver.
Commissioned pieces, commentaries, and office articles: APC waived, TPF may be waived. Hardship relief is asked before APC is due.
