Article Processing Charge
The Journal of Drug Research and Pharmaceutical Science (JDRPS) follows an entirely open access approach where all published papers are available for free viewing by scholars, health practitioners, academics, and any other person around the world.
In order to facilitate publication and maintain high editorial standards, the journal reserves the right to collect an Article Processing Charge (APC) on manuscripts accepted for publication. The APC will go towards meeting the costs of publication of quality academic research, while still providing access to the published papers free of cost to the international scientific community.
