Article Processing Charges

Clear, consistent APC guidance for Journal of Alzheimer's Research and Therapy (JALR).

APCs fund the complete publishing workflow to ensure scientific accuracy, ethical oversight, and durable discoverability for Alzheimer's research. This includes editorial coordination, reviewer management, and multi format publication.

JALR maintains strict editorial standards so every accepted article contributes responsibly to Alzheimer's research and patient care. APC support enables consistent quality checks and timely communication.

• Ethics approval and consent statements for human participant studies.
• Transparent conflict of interest and funding disclosures.
• Originality screening and plagiarism detection.
• Data availability statements that support reproducibility and reuse.
• Clinical relevance checks for translational and patient focused studies.

JALR is committed to inclusive publishing across regions and career stages. Waiver requests are evaluated separately from editorial decisions.

• Editors and Reviewers: Up to 30% waiver for active contributors, not combinable with other offers.
• Geographic Waivers: Geographic low income country researchers qualify for 40-60% waivers.
• Membership Benefits: Additional discounts may apply for eligible JALR members.
• Special Issue Support: Limited time support may be available for approved special issues.

Many institutions and funders allow APCs as an eligible publishing expense. JALR provides invoices, receipts, and documentation for reimbursements and institutional billing workflows.

If your institution requires consolidated billing or a pro forma invoice, contact [email protected] before final payment so we can align with your finance requirements.

After acceptance, the corresponding author receives a secure payment link and instructions. Payment options include major cards, institutional purchase orders, and bank transfers where available. Receipts are issued for institutional records.

Proactive planning helps avoid delays and ensures your manuscript moves smoothly from acceptance to publication. The checklist below reflects the most common items authors and administrators request.

• Confirm funder requirements for open access and APC reimbursement language.
• Verify the corresponding author details and institutional billing address.
• Check whether your institution maintains an open access publishing fund.
• Prepare a waiver request if applicable for student, early career, or regional support.
• Ensure ethics approvals, consent statements, and data availability information are ready.

APC support enables a consistent publishing experience, from editorial checks through final publication. JALR focuses on responsive communication and reliable production quality so authors can plan around grant timelines and reporting requirements.

• APC details are confirmed after acceptance and before any payment is requested.
• Authors receive clear revision guidance and structured feedback summaries.
• Proofs are supplied for review before final release.
• Final articles are published in web, PDF, and XML formats with persistent identifiers.

Withdrawal charges are 30% of the APC if a manuscript is withdrawn after three days from submission. Authors should submit exclusively to JALR until an official withdrawal confirmation is received.

Open access accelerates the translation of Alzheimer's research into clinical practice, caregiver guidance, and public health policy. Immediate availability supports cross disciplinary use by neurology, geriatrics, imaging, genetics, psychology, and public health teams.

JALR prioritizes clarity in titles, abstracts, and keywords to strengthen indexing performance and long term visibility. This helps the right audience find your work when it matters most, whether in clinical decision making, trial design, or community care planning.

APC supported publishing also strengthens trust through transparent workflows. Readers can see how studies were designed, how data were handled, and how conclusions were reached, which is essential for sensitive topics such as cognitive decline, caregiver outcomes, and patient quality of life.

Authors benefit from broader readership, faster uptake, and stronger citation potential, particularly when research includes reusable datasets or robust methodological detail.
