European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences is committed to providing unrestricted access to high-quality scholarly research. To sustain the open access model and ensure the publication process is efficient, we charge authors Article Processing Charges (APCs) upon the acceptance of the manuscripts.
The Article Processing Charges (APCs) cover a wide array of services, including but not limited to:
- Manuscript Submission System: Maintaining an efficient and user-friendly platform (Publishing Manager) for authors, reviewers, and editors.
- Peer-Review Management: Coordinating the peer-review process to ensure timely and rigorous evaluation of manuscripts. Our journal teams oversee all aspects of journal operations, including editorial board management. Moreover, the journal ensures ethical behavior is upheld by using software to detect plagiarism and figure manipulation.
- Copy-editing and Typesetting: Enhancing the readability and formatting of manuscripts to meet publication standards.
- Digital Object Identifier (DOI): Assigning DOIs to articles for easy identification and citation.
- Publication and Archiving: Ensuring articles are hosted on reliable servers and preserved for future access (e.g., CLOCKSS). Publication processes include indexing and abstracting services.
- Administration: APCs also include expenses for overall operations, encompassing human resources, accounting, and administrative costs.

Refund Policy
To maintain scientific integrity, European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences rigorously proofreads manuscripts before publication. Dedicated editors carefully review manuscripts enhancing the readability and formatting of manuscripts to meet publication standards. Any remaining queries are discussed with the author. The article is published only after all issues are satisfactorily addressed.
The Editor in Chief retains the right to overturn the article’s acceptance if evidence of scientific misconduct is discovered during the production or copyediting process.
