Article Processing Charges (APC)
The MedSciens Journal of Pediatrics Surgery (MSJPS) is a peer-reviewed, open-access medical journal dedicated to advancing multidisciplinary innovations and discoveries in pediatric surgical care for neonates, infants, and children. As a comprehensive platform for surgeons, researchers, and professionals worldwide, MSJPS covers a broad spectrum of clinical specialties, including abdominal and thoracic surgery, orthopedics and traumatology, neurosurgery, oncology, and anesthesiology, emphasizing evidence-based advancements in pediatric surgery. By publishing significant research on surgical techniques, outcomes, and patient care, the journal fosters knowledge dissemination across disciplines, promoting higher quality standards and community progress in pediatric surgery. Our open-access model ensures unrestricted access to readers, accelerating global collaboration and breakthroughs in child surgical care without barriers. All manuscripts undergo rigorous peer review by expert editorial board members, upholding integrity, quality, and relevance in pediatric surgical research.
Our Article Processing Charge (APC) of $1,200 is designed to support MSJPS's commitment to pediatric surgical 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 child surgery studies. Authors publishing in MSJPS benefit from enhanced visibility in pediatric surgery databases, increased citation potential, and opportunities to influence surgical protocols, oncology treatments, and anesthesiology practices in pediatric care. We welcome submissions of editorials, original research, review articles, case reports, and perspectives, all reviewed to elevate scholarly standards and community progress in pediatric surgery.
To promote equitable contributions to pediatric surgical research, MSJPS 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.
