Article Processing Charges

All articles published in Biomolecules and Biomedicine are fully Open Access and made freely available online immediately upon publication. This is enabled through an Article Processing Charge (APC), which supports the costs of editorial management, peer review, production, online hosting, indexing, and dissemination services.

Effective August 1, 2025 (for new submissions):

  • The APC for accepted articles is 1695.00 EUR, which includes light language editing and basic figure editing to meet the journal’s high publication standards.

  • The APC for post-publication notices (e.g., corrections, errata) is 100.00 EUR.

  • There are no submission fees.

Article-processing fee waivers and discounts

To support equitable access to publishing, Biomolecules and Biomedicine offers APC waivers or discounts to corresponding authors based in countries classified by the World Bank:

  • Low-income economies: Full waiver (free publication)

  • Lower-middle-income economies: 30% discount

  • Upper-middle-income economies: 10% discount

These discounts apply only to individual authors without external funding for their research. Institutions may also benefit by joining our Institutional Open Access Membership Program (IOAMP), which enables affiliated authors to publish at reduced APC rates.

Additional Notes:

  • Authors from any country who lack sufficient funds may request an APC waiver or discount by including a justification in the cover letter at the time of submission. Each request is considered on a case-by-case basis.

  • Reviewers for Biomolecules and Biomedicine earn cumulative discounts as part of our Reviewer Recognition Program.

  • More information about the IOAMP is available on our Institutional Open Access Membership Program.
