Article Processing Charges (APC)

The MedSciens Journal of Sports Medicine and Research (MSJSMR) is an international, open-access, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing clinical, medical, and surgical developments in sports medicine for athletes and professionals. As a vital platform for independent research and education in orthopedic sports medicine, MSJSMR empowers clinicians with reliable scientific data to make informed decisions on physical fitness, injury prevention, and treatment. Focusing on novel therapeutic strategies in sports and exercise medicine, the journal explores injuries, muscle cramps, ligament and tendon issues, and the impact of chronic conditions like asthma and diabetes on athletic performance, ensuring safe and effective participation in training and sports. By promoting evidence-based practices, MSJSMR supports athletes in achieving their goals while minimizing risks, fostering a global community of researchers and practitioners. Our open-access model provides unrestricted access to readers, accelerating innovations in sports medicine without barriers. All manuscripts undergo thorough peer review by expert reviewers and editorial board members, upholding integrity, quality, and relevance in sports-related research.

Our Article Processing Charge (APC) of $1,100 is designed to support MSJSMR's commitment to sports medicine 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 sports injury studies. Authors publishing in MSJSMR benefit from enhanced visibility in sports medicine databases, increased citation potential, and opportunities to influence training protocols, therapeutic strategies, and performance optimization in athletics. We welcome submissions of editorials, original research, review articles, case reports, and perspectives, all reviewed to elevate scholarly standards and community progress in sports medicine and research.

To promote equitable contributions to sports medicine research, MSJSMR 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 MSJSMR positions you at the forefront of sports medicine innovation, where your work can enhance athletic performance, prevent injuries, and improve health outcomes for athletes worldwide.
