Peer reviewed open access journal
Scope Alignment
ADHD research spanning neuroscience, clinical care, education, and lived experience. We prioritize evidence that improves assessment, treatment, and long term support across the lifespan.
Publishing Model
Open access, single blind peer review, and rapid publication after acceptance and production checks. Metadata validation and DOI registration are included.
Article processing charges (APCs) support peer review coordination, editorial management, production, DOI registration, and long term digital archiving. APCs are applied after acceptance and do not influence editorial decisions.
JAC is committed to transparency and affordability for ADHD research communities.
APCs ensure that ADHD evidence remains openly available to clinicians, educators, and families without subscription barriers. This open access approach helps accelerate translation into practice and improves global visibility.
- Editorial assessment and peer review management

Authors from World Bank classified low income and lower middle income countries may be eligible for partial APC waivers. Requests are evaluated on a case by case basis and must be submitted before acceptance.
Membership options offer discounted APCs for eligible authors and institutions. Contact the editorial office for guidance.
Waiver requests should include the corresponding author location, funding status, and a brief justification for support. The editorial office evaluates requests based on eligibility criteria and available waiver capacity.
Submitting waiver details early helps the team align invoicing and avoid publication delays after acceptance.
Many ADHD teams publish under grant or institutional mandates. Share funder requirements early so the editorial office can align invoicing and reporting needs.
If your funder requires public reporting, note the timelines so documentation aligns with compliance schedules.
- Provide grant identifiers and funding statements
- Confirm open access mandates or repository requirements
- Share billing contacts for institutional or funder payments
- Document any reporting deadlines tied to publication
Manuscripts submitted via ManuscriptZone (https://oap.manuscriptzone.net) or through the Simple Manuscript Submission Form (https://openaccesspub.org/manuscript-submission-form) follow the same APC structure and editorial standards. Submission route does not influence APC eligibility or review outcomes.
Acceptance
APC invoices are issued after editorial acceptance.
Invoice Delivery
Invoices are sent to the corresponding author or billing contact. For questions, email [email protected].
Payment Confirmation
Production begins after payment confirmation.
Publication
Final publication follows copyediting, proofs, and DOI registration.
Institutional billing or grant based payments may require specific invoice language or purchase order details. Share these requirements as early as possible to keep production timelines on track.
If multiple institutions are involved, designate a primary billing contact to coordinate payments and reporting.
Open access publishing enables equitable access to ADHD evidence across regions and care settings. The journal aims to balance sustainable publishing with affordability, particularly for researchers in resource constrained contexts.
Discuss funding constraints early so waiver eligibility can be reviewed before acceptance.
APCs sustain the editorial, production, and dissemination infrastructure required for rapid access to ADHD evidence. This includes rigorous peer review coordination, data checks, and consistent metadata registration to improve discoverability.
Open access distribution is critical for care teams, educators, and policy leaders. By covering publishing costs, APCs help ensure findings are available to the communities that depend on them.
If you need guidance on APC invoicing or waiver eligibility, contact [email protected]. Early communication helps align billing workflows and supports timely publication.
Share any internal billing codes or invoicing templates to avoid delays.
We can confirm waiver outcomes in writing if required.
Questions are welcomed before submission anytime.
