Charges and Payments

CHARGES AND PAYMENTS

From January 1, 2025, an Article Processing Charge (APC) of $1000 USD will be implemented for the publication of accepted manuscripts. A 50% discount on the APC will be applied for authors affiliated with institutions in countries eligible under Research4Life. Peruvian authors are exempt of any fees.

We understand that funding can be a challenge. Therefore, MIC offers the possibility of applying for an APC waiver, which will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. We encourage authors who need to request a waiver to contact the editorial team during the submission process.

This adjustment will allow us to maintain MIC's high standards and continue disseminating crucial research in the field of infectious diseases globally.

Refund Policy

Once an article has been accepted for publication in MIC, Article Processing Charges (APCs) become due. The corresponding author is responsible for the APCs.

MIC will only issue refunds in the following cases:

• Payment Errors: Payments made in excess of the required amount or duplicate payments.
• Withdrawal of Manuscripts Before Acceptance: If a manuscript is withdrawn before formal acceptance, a refund of the paid APCs will be considered.

In no other case will refunds be issued. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Withdrawal of Accepted Manuscripts: Authors who withdraw their manuscripts after acceptance will remain responsible for the payment of APCs.
