Author Fees Policy

The Journal for Quality in Public Health (JQPH) does not charge authors any fees throughout the publication process, from submission, editorial processing, peer review, revision, through publication.

JQPH does not charge article processing charges (APCs), submission fees, page charges, editorial processing fees, language editing fees, color charges, membership fees, or any other supplementary fees.

No waiver application is required because all JQPH publication services are provided free of charge. JQPH will provide advance notice if its author fee policy changes in the future.

Author fees or waiver status do not influence editorial decisions, the peer review process, or publication decisions. Editorial decisions are made independently based on the quality, integrity, and scholarly suitability of the manuscript.

This policy follows the relevant transparency principles for publication fees recommended by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
