Article Processing Charges (APC)
MEF Journal is currently a free-access journal. Although we are preparing to become a quarterly publication, **no fees are currently charged for article publication**, including the upcoming issue.
However, for transparency and future planning, we inform authors of our **intended APC policy** once we transition to a paid model. The structure below outlines this.
How to Pay APC?
APC will only apply once your article is accepted. Authors will be notified by email and via the journal portal. Payment is made through our online system with full guidance provided during the process.
APC Structure (For Future Reference)
The table below shows the proposed APC once charging begins. Please note: currently all issues remain free of charge.
| Article Type | Standard Word Count | Price (EUR) |
|---|---|---|
| Research Article | 3500 | 550 |
| Review Article | 5000 | 700 |
| Case Report | 3500 | 550 |
- VAT not included: Prices exclude VAT or local taxes.
- Bank charges not included: Any transfer fees are the author's responsibility.
- Final APC will be displayed during payment via invoice or portal notification.
- Refer to our word count policy for detailed limits.
🔔 Reminder: All previously published issues and the upcoming one are free of charge. No APC is applied at this time.
