Standard Article Processing Charge
Invoices are issued after acceptance and before production begins. This timing keeps editorial decisions independent while giving authors time to secure payment approvals. Waivers available for documented financial hardship.
Flexible Options for Authors
Route Payments Through Your Institution
JM can invoice universities, laboratories, clinics, or funding agencies. Provide a billing contact, purchase order details, and any required tax documents so finance teams can process payment without delays.
Invoice Schedule
Invoices issued after acceptance, before production. Request pro forma invoices early if your funder requires pre-approval.
Multi-Site Projects
For multi-author studies, select one billing lead and clarify cost sharing. Coordinated billing keeps production on schedule.
Grant Support
Receipts and invoices provided for grant reporting and institutional audit requirements. Keep with project files.
Equity-Focused Support
JM considers waiver requests for authors in low-resource settings and for documented financial hardship. These requests are reviewed separately from peer review to protect editorial independence. Include funding status, institutional context, and specific constraints in your request.
JM maintains strict editorial independence. All submissions undergo rigorous peer review regardless of payment status. Our commitment to scientific quality ensures the JM seal remains a trusted mark of excellence in memory research. Decisions are based solely on scientific merit, never on ability to pay.
