The Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Medical Research (JAIMR) is an open access journal, ensuring that all published articles are freely available to researchers, practitioners, and the public worldwide. To support this model and maintain the quality of peer review and publication services, a nominal Article Processing Charge (APC) is applied to accepted manuscripts.

1. APC Details

• The Standard article processing charges are 1229 Euros and these APCs are exclusive of any applicable taxes.             
• The APC covers:
  • Rigorous peer review management
  • Editorial handling and quality checks
  • Copyediting and formatting
  • Online hosting, indexing, and archiving
  • Open access publication, allowing global visibility

Note: Charges apply only after a manuscript has been accepted for publication following peer review.

2. When the APC is Applied

• The APC is only charged after a manuscript has been accepted for publication.
• No fees are required during the submission or peer review process.

3. Payment Process

• Authors will receive an invoice from the editorial office once the manuscript is accepted.
• Payments can be made securely online via credit/debit card, bank transfer, or other approved payment methods.
• Publication of the article occurs only after the APC payment is completed.

4. Transparency and Ethics

• JAIMR is committed to transparent pricing.
• APCs are strictly for publication services and do not influence editorial decisions.
• All accepted manuscripts undergo peer review without consideration of the author’s ability to pay.

5. Withdrawal Policy

SCICONX Publishing respects authors’ rights to request manuscript withdrawal but emphasizes that such requests should be made responsibly due to the significant time and resources invested by editors, reviewers, and the publishing team. Authors may withdraw their manuscript without penalty before peer review begins. During peer review, a valid reason—such as ethical concerns, duplication, or submission errors—must be provided. Post-acceptance withdrawal is strongly discouraged, and submitting the same manuscript to another journal without proper justification is considered unethical and may be reported. To offset editorial and processing efforts, a withdrawal fee equivalent to 40% of the Article Processing Charge (APC) may be applied for requests made after peer review starts. The Editorial Office retains the right to approve or decline withdrawal requests, particularly in cases of suspected misconduct or duplication. SCICONX encourages authors to thoroughly evaluate the journal’s scope and policies prior to submission to minimize unnecessary withdrawal requests, ensuring a smooth and ethical publishing process.
