Article processing charges
The Journal of Clinical Medicine of Kazakhstan (JCMK) levies an Article Processing Charge (APC) of $500 USD for all accepted manuscripts which are submitted after August 1st, 2026.
To support equitable access to publication, we offer full (100%) APC waivers to corresponding authors based in Low-Income Countries (LIC), and a 40% waiver to those in Lower-Middle-Income Countries (LMIC), as classified by the World Bank.
Waiver eligibility requires that the corresponding author and at least 50% of co-authors are affiliated with institutions in the eligible LIC or LMIC countries.
