Article Processing Charges (APC)
The Journal of Urology and Urological Disorders (JUUD) is a peer-reviewed, open-access publication dedicated to advancing research in urology and related disorders through original articles, practice development papers, and comprehensive reviews. As a supportive platform for emerging researchers and practitioners, JUUD fosters academic writing and publication records by covering a wide range of topics, including Andrology, Endourology, Female Urology, Functional Urology, General Urology, Genitourinary Radiology, the History of Urology, Laparoscopic and Robotic Surgery, Minimally Invasive Urology, Neurourology, Innovations in Technology and Techniques, Pediatric Urology, Reconstructive Urology, Renal Transplantation, Urolithiasis, and Urological Oncology. By focusing on high-quality manuscripts that enhance clinical practices and introduce new research avenues, the journal aims to improve patient care in urological conditions, providing valuable insights for clinicians and researchers worldwide. Our open-access model ensures unrestricted access to readers, promoting a global exchange of knowledge and accelerating innovations in urology without barriers. All manuscripts undergo rigorous peer review by expert reviewers and editorial board members, upholding integrity, quality, and relevance in urological research.
Our Article Processing Charge (APC) of $1,200 is designed to support JUUD's commitment to urology excellence and 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 clinical applications and urological studies. Authors publishing in JUUD benefit from enhanced visibility in urology databases, increased citation potential, and opportunities to influence treatment protocols, surgical innovations, and patient care in urological disorders. We welcome submissions of editorials, original research, review articles, case reports, and perspectives, all reviewed to elevate scholarly standards and community progress in urology and urological disorders.
To promote equitable contributions to urological research, JUUD 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.
