Transparent APC
Article Processing Charges for Urology Publishing
JMSU uses a clear fee framework so authors, institutions, and sponsors can plan publication budgets without uncertainty.
Journal of Medical and Surgical Urology applies Article Processing Charges only after editorial acceptance, protecting authors from paying upfront for manuscripts that do not complete peer review.
Our APC model supports specialist reviewer coordination, scientific editing, production formatting, metadata preparation, DOI registration, and long-term article hosting.
The objective is to combine rigorous publication quality with predictable financial planning for clinical teams, surgical units, and academic investigators.
Transparent fee communication is central to publication trust, especially for multicenter studies with grant timelines and institutional procurement processes.
Standard APC
The standard APC for accepted articles is 1200 USD unless an approved waiver category applies under current policy.
Student APC
Eligible trainees with valid institutional identification may request a reduced APC of 540 USD.
Reviewer and Editor Waiver
Active editorial contributors may receive up to 30 percent waiver support based on current eligibility rules.
Services Included
What the APC Covers in Practice
Each accepted article moves through a complete editorial and production workflow designed for discoverability and compliance.
Editorial Scope and Integrity Screening
Initial checks validate scope fit, disclosure completeness, and reporting readiness before reviewer invitation.
Peer Review Operations
The team coordinates reviewers, reminders, and decision synthesis for fair, evidence-based recommendations.
Scientific Language and Structure
Accepted manuscripts receive editorial polishing to improve clarity without changing scientific conclusions.
Production and Metadata Delivery
XML and web formats are prepared with structured metadata for stronger cross-platform discovery performance.
Citation Infrastructure
DOI assignment and reference linking support reliable citation tracking and persistent access.
Open Access Distribution
Published content is released for broad global readership including clinicians, trainees, and researchers.
The APC therefore supports publication quality controls from acceptance through global discoverability, rather than simple online posting.
Policy Conditions
Waivers, Withdrawals, and Billing Governance
Published fee policies are designed to protect fairness and reduce avoidable administrative delays.
- Waiver requests should be submitted during initial manuscript submission with supporting documentation.
- Approved waivers are reflected on final invoices and are not combinable with other discount categories.
- Withdrawal after three calendar days may incur a 30 percent administrative charge under current policy.
- Institutional billing contacts can be added to official communication to streamline payment workflow.
- Pro forma and compliance documentation can be provided on request for grant and procurement teams.
- Publication scheduling follows invoice completion and final production confirmation steps.
Operational note: If your institution needs specific invoice fields or vendor documents, share those requirements early to protect publication timelines.
