What does it cost to publish in
BioMed Central?
BioMed Central journals do not have page charges, color figure charges or submission
fees. However, for most of the open access articles published in BioMed Central
journals there is an article-processing charge.
The majority of BioMed Central's journals routinely waive charges for authors from low-income countries; the remainder consider waiver requests on the grounds of hardship on a case-by-case basis. Authors from institutions that are members of BioMed
Central do not have to pay the article-processing charge as it is covered by a payment from their institution.
Articles must be submitted in the formats that are detailed in the journal's
instructions to authors, which are subject to change. If authors are unable
to do this, BioMed Central reserves the right to charge for the work of file
conversion.
Articles must be written in sufficiently good English that they can readily
be understood by peer reviewers and readers. If the language needs more attention
than the authors are able to give it, BioMed Central may either charge authors
for editing their manuscript or suggest a commercial editing service.
