Article Processing Charges (APC)
The Journal of Plant Biology and Conservation Research (JPBCR) is an esteemed international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to advancing plant biology and conservation for the benefit of current and future generations. As a comprehensive platform for researchers, botanists, geneticists, and professionals worldwide, JPBCR explores core areas of plant sciences, including morphology, physiology, phytogeography, evolutionary biology, phylogeny, taxonomy, genetics, ecology, developmental biology, cell science, molecular biology, biochemistry, biophysics, and bioinformatics. By disseminating knowledge across sectors like plant physiology, agriculture, biochemistry, and botany, the journal highlights cutting-edge developments in biotechnology and genetic engineering, providing valuable insights for emerging scientists and stakeholders. Our focus on conservation research ensures that innovations in plant science contribute to sustainable agriculture, biodiversity preservation, and global environmental health, fostering interdisciplinary discussions and high-quality standards in the scientific community. All manuscripts undergo rigorous peer review by expert editorial board members, upholding integrity, quality, and relevance in plant biology.
Our Article Processing Charge (APC) of $1,050 is tailored to support JPBCR's mission of plant science excellence and global accessibility. 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 ecological and agricultural applications. Authors publishing in JPBCR benefit from enhanced visibility in plant biology databases, increased citation potential, and opportunities to influence conservation policies, genetic engineering advancements, and sustainable practices in botany and biotechnology. We welcome submissions of editorials, original research, review articles, case reports, and perspectives, all reviewed to elevate scholarly standards and community progress in plant biology and conservation.
To promote equitable contributions to plant science research, JPBCR 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 JPBCR empowers you to lead advancements in plant biology and conservation, where your work can enhance biodiversity, drive sustainable agriculture, and protect ecosystems for future generations. With no submission fees and flexible payment options like credit cards or institutional transfers, the process is user-friendly.
