Article Processing Charges (APCs)

 | Post date: 2023/07/25 | 

The Journal of Medical Education Development does not charge any fees during submission or peer review. After acceptance, manuscripts receive comprehensive professional production and editorial services, including language editing, proofreading, rephrasing for clarity and originality, typesetting, formatting, plagiarism and AI content screening, and reference checking, to ensure high publication quality.

Since many of our authors are non-native English speakers, especially from Persian-speaking backgrounds, these services are essential for improving the clarity, accuracy, and readability of manuscripts. This support helps communicate research findings effectively to the international academic community and aligns with the journal's goal of publishing high-quality, accessible scientific work.

Currently, the typical cost for these combined professional services by experienced providers in Iran is approximately 600 Toman per word. The journal has negotiated competitive rates with trusted partners to offer authors these high-quality services at more affordable prices. The fees for these services are shown in Table  below.

Note 1: These services are only applied after the manuscript is finally accepted. Authors will be informed of the related costs before the publication process starts.
Note 2: The journal works with qualified editors to ensure high-quality and consistent preparation of all articles.
Note 3: Due to international transfer restrictions, authors outside Iran are currently exempt from paying these fees directly; Zanjan University of Medical Sciences covers these costs for international authors.
Note 4: To maintain consistency and quality, the journal coordinates all professional services with qualified providers. The journal acts only as an intermediary between authors and these providers and does not collect any fees directly; payments are made directly to the service providers.
Note 5: Any withdrawal after acceptance may result in charges for work already completed.

If you have any questions about these fees or the services provided, please contact the editorial office at edujournal.zums.ac.ir.
