Biomedicine and Chemical Sciences (BCS) operates under an Open Access publishing model to ensure the free and unrestricted dissemination of scholarly research worldwide.
To support editorial management, peer review, production, online hosting, and long-term archiving of published articles, an Article Processing Charge (APC) may be applicable upon acceptance of a manuscript.
APCs are charged only after a manuscript has successfully completed the peer-review process and has been accepted for publication.
Submission of manuscripts is free of charge.
Payment of APCs does not influence editorial decisions, peer-review outcomes, or publication acceptance.
The journal may consider APC waivers or discounts in exceptional circumstances, subject to editorial approval and journal policies.
APCs are generally non-refundable once an article has been accepted, processed, and published, except in cases where publication cannot proceed due to circumstances attributable to the journal.
Current APC rates and payment instructions are available on the journal website. Authors are advised to review the applicable charges before manuscript submission.
BCS is committed to maintaining a fair, transparent, and ethical publication process in accordance with international scholarly publishing standards.
