Article Processing Charges (APC)

The Journal of Bone and Soft Tissue Surgery (JBSS) does not charge any article processing charges (APCs) or submission fees during its first year of publication. This initial waiver is part of our commitment to encouraging high-quality submissions and supporting open-access dissemination of knowledge in orthopedic and soft tissue surgery.

Starting from the second year of publication, a modest APC of USD 150 will be charged per accepted article to cover the costs of editorial processing, peer review, digital archiving, DOI assignment, and online hosting.

There are no hidden fees at any stage of the publishing process. Authors will only be invoiced after their article is accepted for publication.

Waivers or discounts may be considered on a case-by-case basis for authors from low-income countries or those with genuine financial constraints.
