At the International Journal of Medical Science Research and Innovations (IJMSRI), we aim to provide transparent and clear policies regarding publication charges and related services. Please read the following carefully before proceeding with any payments.
1. Publication Charges
Once a manuscript has been accepted for publication, the corresponding author will be notified and required to make the payment of the publication charge. The fee is non-refundable except under certain conditions outlined below.
2. Refund Policy
We do not offer refunds once the publication fee has been paid and the article has entered the production stage. However, refunds may be granted under specific circumstances such as:
- Duplicate Payment: If a duplicate payment has been made, the author can request a refund by providing relevant proof.
- Payment Made by Mistake: If payment was made for a withdrawn or rejected manuscript, a refund may be issued after review of the case.
In such cases, please contact our finance team at publisher@ijmsri.com with proof of the duplicate or mistaken payment, and we will process the refund within 15 business days after verification.
3. Cancellation Policy
- Manuscript Withdrawal: If the author wishes to withdraw their manuscript after acceptance but before publication, the publication charge will still apply, and no refund will be issued, as the review and editorial process has already taken place.
- Subscription Cancellation: Since IJMSRI is an open-access journal and all content is freely available to the public, no subscription fees or cancellations apply.
4. Processing Time
Refunds, if applicable, will be processed within 15 business days after approval. Refunds will be credited to the original mode of payment only.
