Membership
Membership is a matter for the publisher, Open Access Pub. This page explains how it relates to publishing in the Journal of Drug Resistant Pathogen Research.
What membership is for
Open-access journals publish articles free to read under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, with costs met through article processing charges rather than subscriptions.
Membership is separate from the editorial work of the journal. Manuscripts are handled through the same editorial process whether or not an author has any arrangement with the publisher, and no arrangement has any bearing on the review or acceptance of any manuscript.
How membership relates to publishing
- Editorial decisions
- Editorial decisions are based on scope, scientific quality, methodological rigor, ethical compliance, reporting quality, and relevance to the journal. They remain independent of fees, services, memberships and roles.
- Article processing charge
- The APC for JDRPR is USD 1,200, payable only after acceptance; withdrawal after submission is subject to the journal's withdrawal policy. Full details are on the Article Processing Charges page.
- Fee relief
- Fee-relief inquiries are considered case by case; contact the editorial office before or at submission.
