ADVANCING GLOBAL EQUITY IN AN OPEN ACCESS WORLD

At BMJ, we appreciate that authors from low-income countries may not have access to funds to cover their Article Processing Charge (APC) and we don’t want this to deter them from publishing open access in their journal of choice. This is why all BMJ Group journals offer waivers for the full Article Processing Charge (100% discount of the APC) for authors based in low-income countries. Visit our author hub to learn about our waivers policy and how to request one.
