Article Processing Charges (APC)
The Archives of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (ANDS) is a comprehensive, open-access, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to exploring the structure, anatomy, and functions of the nervous system, with a focus on disorders and strokes. As a global platform for clinicians and researchers in neurology and related fields, ANDS covers the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of neurological conditions affecting the central and peripheral nervous systems, including the brain, spinal cord, cranial nerves, peripheral nerves, nerve roots, autonomic nervous system, neuromuscular junction, and muscles. By addressing strokes-sudden disruptions in brain blood flow leading to neurological deficits-the journal disseminates the latest clinical and scientific insights to advance understanding and patient care. Our commitment to swift sharing of research findings fosters a collaborative community, ensuring that innovative studies reach a worldwide audience without barriers. All manuscripts undergo rigorous peer review by expert reviewers and editorial board members, upholding integrity, quality, and relevance in neurological research.
Our Article Processing Charge (APC) of $1,150 is structured to support ANDS's mission of neurological excellence and rapid dissemination. This fee covers essential services such as expert peer review, professional editing and formatting, and seamless online dissemination through advanced digital platforms. It also includes investments in hardware, software, and long-term digital preservation in secure repositories, guaranteeing your research's accessibility for future clinical applications and stroke studies. Authors publishing in ANDS benefit from enhanced visibility in neurology databases, increased citation potential, and opportunities to influence diagnostic protocols, treatment strategies, and stroke prevention in neurological disorders. We welcome submissions of original research articles, reviews, and case reports, all reviewed to elevate scholarly standards and community progress in neurological disorders and stroke.
To promote equitable contributions to neurological research, ANDS adheres to a comprehensive Waiver Policy. We recognize that funding availability can vary significantly, so we offer substantial waivers for deserving authors whose institutions lack financial support or for those from low-income economies. These waivers, whether partial or full, are evaluated on a case-by-case basis to promote inclusivity and encourage global contributions. Requests must be submitted to the journal before manuscript submission to ensure fair consideration. This policy underscores our commitment to accessibility, allowing talented researchers to publish without financial hurdles.
Additionally, our Withdrawal Policy ensures transparency and fairness in the publication process. Authors may withdraw their article before the plagiarism check at no cost. However, if withdrawal occurs after the plagiarism check (within 24 hours) and formatting, a fee of $189 applies. For manuscripts that have undergone peer review and are prepared for publication, the fee increases to $459. Once an article is published, the withdrawal fee is $549. These charges reflect the resources invested in the process and align with our open-access model, where fees are non-refundable upon payment to cover editorial, review, and dissemination costs.
Publishing with ANDS positions you at the forefront of neurological innovation, where your work can improve diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes for stroke and nervous system disorders. With no submission fees and flexible payment options like credit cards or institutional transfers, the process is streamlined.
