International Journal of Translational Research
APCs sustain rigorous editorial oversight, professional production, and global discovery for translational research.
Transparent Article Processing Charges
Open access translational research reaches clinicians, researchers, and industry partners without subscription barriers.
Article Processing Charges support rigorous peer review, editorial oversight, production quality, and long term preservation. Charges apply only after acceptance, and there are no submission fees.
The APC model sustains the infrastructure required for reliable translational medicine publishing, including editorial coordination, reviewer management, and technical production that ensures consistent HTML and PDF output.
Authors retain the ability to share their work widely, and funder compliance is supported through clear licensing and data availability statements.
The International Journal of Translational Research maintains a strict separation between editorial decisions and payment processing. Editors and reviewers do not have access to payment status, ensuring decisions are based solely on scientific merit.
If funding is limited, the editorial office can advise on waiver eligibility, institutional support, or special issue arrangements that may reduce costs.
Submission Methods
- Manuscriptzone submission: https://oap.manuscriptzone.net/
- Simple Manuscript Submission: https://openaccesspub.org/manuscript-submission-form
Both submission routes enter the same editorial workflow and receive equal consideration.
Acceptance Only
APCs are charged only after acceptance, with no submission fees.
Editorial Independence
Decisions are separated from payment status and based on scientific merit.
Funder Readiness
Clear licensing and documentation support institutional and grant compliance.
What the APC Supports
APC funding sustains the full publishing workflow from first assessment to global dissemination.
APCs fund the end to end process that transforms a manuscript into a trusted publication. This includes editorial screening, reviewer coordination, and the technical work needed for discoverability.
Editorial and Peer Review
Scope screening, reviewer coordination, and decision support led by translational science and clinical research experts.
Integrity Checks
Originality screening, ethics verification, and disclosure review protect the scholarly record.
Production Quality
Copyediting, typesetting, and layout for HTML and PDF outputs with consistent formatting.
Discovery Readiness
Metadata preparation and structured files support indexing and long term access.
Author Support
Responsive communication during revision, proofing, and publication stages.
Preservation
Archiving practices ensure stable access for clinicians and researchers worldwide.
Translational research often relies on complex data and molecular methods. Professional production ensures clarity, reproducibility, and accurate interpretation across diverse clinical audiences.
Quality Outcomes
- Consistent HTML and PDF formatting
- Integrity checks documented for compliance
- Metadata prepared for indexing
- Archiving for long term access
Waivers, Discounts, and Billing
We encourage early planning for APCs and provide documentation for funders and institutions.
Waivers or discounts may be available in limited circumstances such as special issue participation or editorial service. Contact the editorial office before submission to discuss options.
Many authors use grant funds, departmental budgets, or institutional open access funds. Planning APCs early helps avoid delays after acceptance.
International billing guidance is available for institutions outside the United States and for multi author projects that require shared payment documentation.
Optional services such as language editing are offered separately upon request and do not influence editorial decisions.
Billing Essentials
- Invoices issued after acceptance with institutional billing support
- Pro forma invoices available for grant approvals
- Documentation provided for departmental reimbursement
- Membership options available for frequent contributors
APC Investment and Author Value
A transparent APC policy supports quality, speed, and long term impact.
Visibility
Open access removes subscription barriers for clinicians, researchers, and policy teams.
Discoverability
Structured metadata improves indexing, citations, and guideline use.
Documentation
Customized invoices and funder documentation can be coordinated before submission.
Open access articles are visible to clinicians, researchers, and policy teams without subscription barriers. This accelerates uptake of new findings in clinical care and therapeutic translation.
The journal prioritizes clear communication and structured metadata so that articles are easier to discover, cite, and use in clinical guidelines or translational research planning.
Common APC Payment Paths
Authors often use multiple funding sources to support open access publication.
Grant funded projects typically include APCs in the publication budget. Departmental or laboratory funds may supplement costs when multiple authors contribute from different institutions.
Institutional open access programs can also cover APCs for eligible authors. The editorial office can provide documentation to support library or research office workflows.
If a study is part of a multi center collaboration, the corresponding author can coordinate shared billing and confirm payment distribution before acceptance.
Early coordination of funding helps avoid delays at acceptance and supports a smooth transition to production.
Planning Tips
- Grant budgets and research office approvals
- Library open access funds and departmental support
- Multi site cost sharing agreements
- Membership plans for repeat contributors
If you require a formal invoice for compliance reporting, request it before final proofs.
Publication Workflow
A clear timeline helps authors plan funding and publication milestones.
Open Access Impact
Publishing open access accelerates visibility and career impact for translational research.
