Membership
Membership is an optional arrangement with Open Access Pub, the publisher of the Journal of Fertility Biomarkers. No membership terms are currently listed for JFB.
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 article processing charge for JFB is USD 1,200 for all article types, 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.
Current status
No membership terms are offered for JFB at present. Questions about membership can be sent to the editorial office at info@openaccesspub.org.
