Resarch papers and Review articles: 100,00 EUR plus 23% VAT

Other types of articles, namely: Clinical Vignettes, Letters, Editorials, Comment Letters, Guidelines or Consensus Statements as well as commissioned and invited articles are still going to be published free of charge.

After an article is accepted for publication, author will be required to make a payment, which is necessary to complete the publication process. If the manuscript is withdrawn after being accepted for publication, the fee is non-refundable. All costs related to the bank transfer are covered by the author.

Introduction of APC (Author Preparation Charge) has become neccessary due to increase of overall publication costs aslo related to Journal development. Waivers or discounts may be available in limited number of well justified cases. To apply for waiver provide such request during your submission. To the extent possible we would like to avoid situations where APC would prevent publication of worthy papers.
