B. Open Access

A chance can be found in open access. To disseminate your findings internationally and to collaborate with people from other fields, regions, and professions. For the purpose of adding to, refining, and expanding our body of collective knowledge. We value transparency and include it into every step of our publication process at FMDB to give researchers the greatest possible amount of freedom and flexibility in their contributions.

Transparency is a Strength
FMBD provides a variety of cutting-edge Open Access alternatives to improve the quality of the scientific record, increase accessibility, promote trustworthiness, and multiply the results of research.

Improve your impact
Free and easily accessible research has a greater chance of being read, cited, and implemented into practise. Articles with an Open Access licence are more likely to be read and cited by scholars throughout the world, as well as by policymakers, educators, and the general public.

Science-savvy
In addition to demonstrating the quality of your research and the screening it has passed, sharing the underlying components of your research decreases the potential for bias and promotes transparency into the investigatory and peer review processes.

Maximize your contribution
More timely dissemination of findings results in less overall waste in the scientific ecosystem and more chances for reuse, inspiration, and collaboration.

Trust and long-term success
Use Open Access techniques that incorporate open methods, open data, and study designs into published articles to guarantee that all of the necessary components for replication are preserved in the long-term scientific record.

Methods
Integrity, comprehension, reproducibility, and reusability in research all benefit from the adoption of open methodologies.

Peer-review publications
Research outputs include both peer reviews and author responses to reviewers. They improve our comprehension of the study conducted, add credibility to the findings that have been published, and enrich the scientific literature overall. Reviewers are held more accountable and provide more helpful criticism when they know their review could be made public. Any FMDB journal that accepts your paper for publication gives you the option of also publishing the peer review comments.

Preprints
Your ability to manage your own scientific publications is strengthened by preprints. When you feel comfortable doing so, you should make your research public in order to set priorities, announce your findings, solicit input from the community, build your readership, and strengthen your case for funding, promotion, or tenure. Preprints are acceptable for submission to FMDB.

C. FMDB Policy

For almost a decade now, FMDB Publications has been widely recognised for producing high-quality academic journals. The standards established by the Committee on Publication Ethics have our full support, and we adhere to them (COPE). Furthermore, we have set comprehensive publication policies to ensure the highest standards of publication ethics are upheld by all of our writers.

Authors who choose to publish their work in FmdbPub publications are deemed to have read and agreed to the journal's policies for publishing.

We have included quick access links to our open access journal rules in the sidebar.

D. APC

Publication Fees

FMDB uses a variety of financial methods to promote Open Access for all users. By charging a price for each article, most OA journals are able to cover the costs associated with publication, such as peer review management, journal production, and online hosting and archiving (APC). As a result of our collaborations with academic institutions and funding organisations, we hope to ease the workload of authors and cut down on associated costs.

Journal publication costs are listed at the Fee Details-Link and are due once an article has been accepted for publication. Payment in accordance with the rates in place on the date of your submission.

Future of Open Access

We are collaborating with universities to encourage scholars from different backgrounds and fields to publish their work openly.
To help institutions facilitate their authors' Open Access publication ambitions, all FMDB journals provide payment alternatives other than the Article Processing Charge (APC). Many FMDB authors can avoid paying for and keeping track of publication fees through institutional collaborations. These can take the form of annual centralised payments, direct invoicing, or participation in Community Action Publishing. Investigate whether or not your school is one of our Institutional Partners.

Open Access Funding Support

The movement to sponsor activities that promote Open Access publication is gaining traction. The availability of institutional, government, and foundation Open Access financing is beneficial to authors worldwide. There are various sources of funding support for publication fees, and FMDB is just one of them.

Institutional Open Access Funds

There are several examples of organisations helping out their scholars by providing funds to pay or lessen the price of Open Access publications.
In the event that your school is not included in the list of Institutional Account Participants, please consult with your library to learn about additional resources.
Also, you can persuade your organisation to directly partner with FMDB to finance all future journal articles. All you have to do is complete out this form, and we'll take it from there.
Spread the word around campus that you want your administration to help you get published by telling them about our institutional collaboration strategies to reduce costs.

Funder Fee Support

Many funding organisations now prefer that scientists disseminate their findings through freely accessible Open Access publications. Check with your potential donor to see whether they offer article processing grants or if you may include fees as line items on a grant application.
Authors submitting to any FMDB publication can be assured that their work will be made available to the public in accordance with the policies of the world's leading philanthropies.
We feel that the lack of financial resources should not prevent anyone from publishing in Open Access.

FMDB Publication Fee Assistance Program (FPFAP)

It was with this in mind that the FMDB Publishing Fee Assistance (PFA) programme was established to help authors who could not otherwise afford to pay for publication but who could show a compelling financial need to do so.

The following countries are eligible for FPFA:
Afghanistan, Angola, Benin, Bhutan, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cambodia, Cape Verde, Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Djibouti, East Timor, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Haiti, Kiribati, Laos, Lesotho, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Maldives, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Myanmar, Nepal, Niger, Rwanda, Samoa, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Solomon Islands, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania, Togo, Tuvalu, Uganda, Vanuatu, Yemen, Zambia, Refund Policy
When submitting an article for publication, an author is eligible to apply for FPFAP. Within 12 working days, a decision is typically communicated to the author. Case-by-case review is how FMDB evaluates applications.

In the case of the FMDB, all editorial considerations are given priority when deciding which articles to publish. Journal editors and reviewers are not made aware of fee assistance applications.
Prior to applying for FPFAP, authors are encouraged to explore all other possible financing options. Questions regarding the availability of alternate funding from sources like the authors' or co-authors' institution, institutional library, government agencies, and research funders are included in the application form. The authors' disclosure of funding sources is required for consideration by the FPFAP.
Formal application for aid must be made at the time of enrollment. There will be no time limit on requests, so feel free to send them in at any point, either during the review process or after acceptance. It is not possible for authors to contact the journal directly or send an email requesting fee help.

Refund Policy

After a manuscript has been accepted for publication, APCs need to be paid. After a work has been accepted by FMDB Publications, no cancellations or refunds will be given.
