PUBLISH ARTICLE

Directive Publications welcomes original research articles, clinical studies, review articles, case reports, and perspectives that contribute to advancing knowledge and understanding in medical and scientific research.

Manuscript Publication Charges

The author of the published article is charged an article processing charge (APC). The payment ranges from USD 1800-3600, depending on the type of article, the availability of Funding Support, and the country's income position.

The writers will not be charged if they withdraw their article from the earliest stages of processing. However, if the article is in the review stage or has been accepted for publication, the author must pay the full withdrawal price. This cash will be used to cover expenses incurred during the process and publishing.

Once the paper has been approved by the journal, the APC is due to the author. Authors will have enough time between the date of submission and acceptance to decide whether to continue publication or withdraw their submission. As a result, once paid, the charge will never be reimbursed. Because the journal publishes papers under an Open Access platform, the fee paid by the authors will be used to cover the costs of the process and publication.


Processing Chargers Waiver

Our publications offer waivers up to 50% on APC only to our journal editorial board members to encourage timely submissions and ensure that editors can benefit from waived publication charges. This helps to support our commitment to making quality research accessible to all, regardless of financial constraints.

We believe that by providing these waivers, we can help researchers from diverse backgrounds to share their work and contribute to the advancement of knowledge in their respective fields. Our goal is to promote inclusivity and diversity in academic publishing by removing financial barriers for authors.
