To provide open access, MJMS use a business
model in which our expenses — including those of journal production, and of
online hosting and archiving — are recovered in part by charging a
publication fee to the authors or research sponsors for each article they
publish. Authors who are affiliated with one of our Institutional Members
(Sponsors) are eligible for a discount on this fee.
Editors and reviewers have no access to author
payment information, and hence inability to pay will not influence the
decision to publish a paper. Our 2008-2010 price (for manuscripts submitted
on or after June 1, 2008) is 200 EUR and should be transferred to:
IBAN: MK07200001778665324 (ID 1085469)
BIC or SWIFT code: STOBMK2X
Name of account holder: MZBKIA
Name of Bank: STOPANSKA BANKA AD SKOPJE
Address of Bank: 11 Oktomvri, No 7, 1000, Skopje, Republic of Macedonia.
Macedonian citizens should pay in MKD denars
equivalent to 200 EUR and should be transferred to:
Name of account holder: MZBKIA
Account No: 200000033633966
Name of Bank: STOPANSKA BANKA AD SKOPJE
As our publishing operation grows MJMS relies
less on philanthropic support and more on our revenue from publication fees,
advertising, sponsorship and membership programs. The challenge for any
organization like MJMS is to ensure that our income from this variety of
revenue streams is sufficient to cover our costs, and that we are steadily
strengthening our financial independence. We have the mechanisms in place to
ensure this balance, and are keeping all aspects of our business under
regular review.
Why should you
have to pay to publish your paper?
It costs money to produce a peer-reviewed, edited, and formatted
article that is ready for online publication, and to host it on a server
that is accessible around the clock. Prior to that, a public or private
funding agency has already paid a great deal more money for the research to
be undertaken in the interest of the public. This real cost of "producing" a
paper can be calculated by dividing your laboratory's annual budget by the
number of papers published. We ask that—as a small part of the cost of doing
the research—the author, institution, or funding agency pays a fee, to help
cover the actual cost of the essential final step, the publication. (As it
stands, authors now often pay for publication in the form of page or color
charges.) Many funding agencies now support this view.
What does MJMS
deliver for the publication fee?
Above all, MJMS deliver OA. For you as an author, that means your
work will have maximum impact. Anyone with an interest in your work will be
able to find it, read it, download it, redistribute it, translate it, and so
on. There is growing evidence, that OA increases the usage and citation of
published work. But it doesn't end there. In addition:
-
Authors have unlimited space to tell their
story - there is no restriction on the numbers of pages, figures, tables
etc.
-
Authors retain their copyright and the right
to be cited as the originators of their work.
-
Authors receive one printed issue of the MJMS.
-
MJMS provide added value content plus
summaries that increase understanding of your work.
-
MJMS deposits published papers immediately
into DOAJ, Index Copernicus, Versita, EBSCO, and CABI.
