Article Processing Charges

Transparent APCs that support open access dental publishing.

JDOI operates under an open access model so dental research and implantology evidence are available without subscription barriers. This approach expands visibility for clinicians, educators, and researchers worldwide.

APCs support peer review coordination, production, DOI registration, indexing workflows, and long-term preservation. Fees are assessed only after acceptance, and there are no submission or page charges.

Open access removes barriers for practitioners who need evidence-based guidance at the point of care. It also allows researchers to share findings rapidly across regions, including settings with limited library access.

Funding agencies increasingly require open access compliance. Publishing in JDOI helps authors meet these expectations while ensuring their work remains discoverable and reusable under a CC BY 4.0 license.

The Article Processing Charge is applied only after acceptance. There are no submission fees or page charges.

The standard APC for JDOI is listed below.

• Editorial assessment and peer review management
• Professional copyediting and typesetting
• CrossRef DOI registration and metadata updates
• Online hosting, archiving, and indexing submissions
• Quality checks for ethics, plagiarism, and data statements
• Author support across revisions and proofing
• Long-term preservation and article access maintenance

APCs support transparent editorial processes, structured metadata, and timely publication. This helps institutions track outputs, funders verify compliance, and clinicians access validated evidence.

JDOI provides clean, citable records that strengthen author visibility and improve downstream impact tracking.

JDOI is committed to clear, consistent APC communication so authors understand exactly what the fee supports. The APC reflects the full publishing lifecycle, from rigorous peer review to long-term access and archiving.

APCs do not influence acceptance decisions. Editorial outcomes are based on scientific quality, clinical relevance, and adherence to journal scope.

Authors from World Bank-classified low-income countries are eligible for affordable APC waivers. Requests are assessed for eligibility and availability.

Membership options and institutional arrangements may reduce APCs for eligible authors. Early requests help avoid production delays.

• Affordable waivers for low-income country authors
• Membership discounts for active contributors
• No fees for submission or peer review

JDOI aims to remove financial barriers that could limit participation in open dental science. Editorial decisions remain independent of fee status, and waiver requests are reviewed with confidentiality.

If your research addresses underserved populations or resource constrained settings, the editorial office can advise on the most appropriate support pathway.

Waiver requests should be submitted as early as possible, ideally at the time of submission or immediately after acceptance. This allows the editorial office to confirm eligibility without delaying production.

• Email the editorial office with the manuscript title and request
• Provide country classification or institutional documentation
• Include funding details if a sponsor is involved
• Await confirmation before final payment processing

Institutions or departments can support multiple submissions through membership or payment coordination. This simplifies billing and reduces administrative steps for authors.

If your institution requires a quote, invoice, or documentation for reimbursement, the editorial office can provide the necessary materials.

• Centralized invoicing for institutions
• Documentation for grant or departmental reimbursement
• Flexible payment coordination for multi-author teams

Many funders require open access and clear licensing language. JDOI provides documentation to support grant reporting and compliance workflows.

If your institution requires specific wording for reimbursement or audits, the editorial office can assist with templates.

• Acceptance decision issued by the editor
• Invoice issued and production starts simultaneously
• Payment within 48 hours to avoid delays
• Publication proceeds after payment confirmation

Invoices include payment instructions and contact details for billing questions. Institutional or third-party payments are accepted with proper documentation.

If multiple authors share funding responsibilities, coordinate with the editorial office so payment is processed smoothly.

Timelines depend on author responsiveness during proofing and the complexity of figures or supplementary materials. Prompt proof approval helps keep publication on schedule.

Authors can speed publication by confirming metadata, affiliations, and funding details during proof review.

Complex graphics may require additional production checks.

• Itemized invoices suitable for institutional processing
• Payment confirmation letters for grant reporting
• Receipts aligned to the corresponding manuscript
• Support for institutional purchase orders when required

Once payment is confirmed, the article moves through copyediting, proofing, and final publication. JDOI publishes articles online with DOI registration for immediate access.

Authors receive proofs for approval to ensure accuracy in figures, tables, and metadata. Publication typically follows within two weeks of APC confirmation, depending on proof turnaround.

Clear cost planning supports timely publication and reduces administrative delays for authors and institutions. Transparent fees build trust with funders and support grant budgeting.

If you need guidance on budget language or compliance statements, contact the editorial office for template support.

Multi-author teams should confirm funding sources before acceptance to prevent delays. Assign a primary billing contact who can coordinate invoices and approvals.

If a funder requires specific budget wording, send the requirement to the editorial office so the invoice and documentation align with institutional standards.

Clear internal coordination reduces administrative delays after acceptance.

• Identify the billing contact early
• Confirm grant or departmental funding availability
• Request documentation for reimbursement if needed
• Notify the editorial office of any payment constraints

The APC supports publication under CC BY 4.0, which allows sharing and reuse with attribution. This license improves reach for dental research and supports open science goals.

Authors can cite the license in grant reports to demonstrate open access compliance.

JDOI supports authors, editors, and reviewers with timely guidance on scope, policies, and workflows. If you need clarification on requirements, data statements, or review timelines, contact the editorial office at [email protected]. We can provide templates, examples, and best-practice recommendations to help you move forward confidently. Our responses typically include next steps, resource links, and a clear point of contact. Early communication helps avoid delays, ensures consistent compliance, and improves the overall publication experience.
