As a comprehensive platform for clinicians, researchers, and professionals worldwide, IJCSMD explores behavioral factors influencing normal and abnormal sleep patterns, prevention, assessment, clinical diagnosis, and treatment of sleep disorders, including sleep-wake regulation, circadian rhythms, neurobehavioral impacts, and sleep physiology. By publishing diverse articles on current trends in clinical and experimental research, the journal covers critical topics such as Sleep Apnea, Insomnia, Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Epilepsy, Restless Legs Syndrome, REM Sleep, Parkinson’s Disease, Alzheimer’s Disease, Personality Disorders, Mood Disorders, Sleepwalking, Enuresis, Psychological Disorders, Psychotherapy, and Sleep Medicine. It serves as a vital repository for recent discoveries, promoting knowledge exchange across disciplines to enhance patient safety and best practices in sleep medicine. Our open-access model ensures unrestricted access to readers, fostering a global community of experts and accelerating innovations in sleep health without barriers. All manuscripts undergo thorough peer review by expert editorial board members, upholding integrity, quality, and relevance in clinical sleep research.
Our Article Processing Charge (APC) of $1,100 is tailored to support IJCSMD's commitment to sleep medicine 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 sleep disorder studies. Authors publishing in IJCSMD benefit from enhanced visibility in sleep medicine databases, increased citation potential, and opportunities to influence treatment protocols, preventive strategies, and neurobehavioral therapies in sleep disorders. We welcome submissions of case reports, research articles, reviews, mini-reviews, short communications, perspectives, and editorials, all reviewed to elevate scholarly standards and community progress in clinical sleep medicine.
To promote equitable contributions to sleep research, IJCSMD 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.
