- For authors and institutions
- Open Access Pub
Membership
Membership is an optional arrangement with Open Access Pub, the publisher of the Journal of Current Viruses and Treatment Methodologies, for researchers, academic departments and organizations that support open-access publishing.
What membership is for
Open-access journals publish articles free to read under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, with costs met through article processing charges rather than subscriptions. Membership gives individual researchers and institutions a way to support this model through an agreement with the publisher.
Membership is separate from the editorial work of the journal. Every manuscript follows the same editorial process, and the review and acceptance of a manuscript rest on its scientific merit alone.
How membership relates to publishing
- Editorial decisions
- Editorial decisions are based on scope, scientific quality, methodological rigor, ethical compliance, reporting quality, and relevance to the journal. They remain independent of fees, services, memberships and roles.
- Article processing charge
- The APC for JVAT is USD 2,199, payable only after acceptance; withdrawal after submission is subject to the journal's withdrawal policy. Full details are on the Article Processing Charges page.
- Fee relief
- Fee-relief inquiries are considered case by case; contact the editorial office before or at submission.
How to apply
JVAT does not require membership to publish, and no membership is needed to submit, review or edit. Terms of any arrangement are provided by the editorial office on request, and any plan is agreed in writing with the publisher before payment. Email info@openaccesspub.org with your full name, institutional or organizational affiliation, mailing address and the journals of interest.
