Article Processing Charge (APC)

Research in Health and Medicine is committed to a minimal cost article processing charge (APC) for all manuscripts. Upon acceptance of a manuscript the APC of $350 USD must be processed by Research in Health and Medicine prior to publication. If a manuscript is accepted for publication, an email including a payment link will be sent to the corresponding author. Manuscripts will not be published by Research in Health and Medicine until the APC is finalized via PayPal. 

Annual Unlimited APC Waiver Program

Pinnacle Science aims to offer researchers worldwide an affordable, open-access platform for peer-reviewed research. To support this mission, we provide an Annual Unlimited APC Waiver program, allowing authors from any university or institution to publish unlimited manuscripts for an annual fee of $550 USD per department. Alternatively, researchers can pay a one-time APC of $350 USD for each accepted manuscript.

Beginning January 1, 2027, Pinnacle Science will update APC pricing to support the growth and sustainability of our open access publishing model. The single manuscript APC will increase to $425 USD and the departmental Annual Unlimited APC Waiver program will increase to $700 USD. The current university-wide waiver agreements and institutional pricing will remain unchanged at this time.

Pinnacle Science encourages research librarians to list this journal among their library's electronic journal holdings.
