Fees and funding

Authors who publish open access in Tropical Medicine and Health are required to pay an article processing charge (APC). The APC price will be determined from the date on which the article is accepted for publication.

The current APC, subject to VAT or local taxes where applicable, is: £2090.00/$2990.00/€2490.00

Open access funding

Visit Springer Nature’s open access funding & support services for information about research funders and institutions that provide funding for APCs.

Springer Nature offers agreements that enable institutions to cover open access publishing costs. Learn more about our open access agreements to check your eligibility and discover whether this journal is included.

Springer Nature offers APC waivers and discounts for articles published in our fully open access journals whose corresponding authors are based in the world’s lowest income countries (see our APC waivers and discounts policy for further information). Requests for APC waivers and discounts from other authors will be considered on a case-by-case basis, and may be granted in cases of financial need (see our open access policies for journals for more information). All applications for discretionary APC waivers and discounts should be made at the point of manuscript submission; requests made during the review process or after acceptance are unable to be considered.

Members of the Japanese Society of Tropical Medicine (JSTM) and the Japanese Association for Global Health (JAGH) are eligible to pay a discounted article-processing charge (APC) for the papers submitted by the member of the societies and for the papers invited by the journal. To receive this benefit, the JSTM/JAGH members and invited authors must claim the APC coverage at the time of editorial acceptance of their manuscript.
