All articles published have open access and are available free online, immediately after publication.
The article processing charges (APC) cover a variety of publishing services, such as online tools for editors and authors, article hosting, indexing services, and author support.
No fees are charged on submission and after editorial acceptance of the manuscript the corresponding author will be notified that payment is due. The fee must be paid before publication.
The APC per article by authors belonging to the Brazilian Institutions will be R$ 950.00 and for authors from outside Brazil, US$ 450.00. The charge is independent of the size of the article.
The corresponding author is responsible for making or arranging payment upon editorial acceptance of the manuscript. We advise immediate payment, as we cannot publish accepted articles until payment is received. Payment must be made through the Paypal system, where the author will receive a notification from "service@paypal.com.br" on behalf of Healthsciences, which is the publisher responsible for the journal.
Our billing refund policy will occur when an error on the part of the journal results in the failure to publish a manuscript under the open access terms selected by the authors. Failure in the availability of an open article on the magazine's platform or in the publication of an article under a Creative Commons license other than the one selected by the author (s) may be included. Refunds will be offered only if these errors have not been corrected within 30 days of publication.
The charge will not be refunded when the article is removed for error or misconduct by the author.
In case of an error in the status of open access or in the licensing of your article, contact technical support at the electronic address: submissao@bjns.com.br
