How APCs Support Quality
APC ValueSpecialist Peer Review
APCs support expert peer review by pancreatologists, endocrinologists, surgeons, and basic scientists who evaluate methodological rigor, clinical relevance, and translational value.
Production Quality
Professional copyediting, layout, and figure checks ensure clarity and consistent reporting for pancreatic research across clinical and laboratory domains.
Indexing And Visibility
APCs fund DOI assignment, metadata enrichment, and long-term hosting so pancreatic research remains accessible and discoverable worldwide.
Standard APCs
APCs are billed only after acceptance and never influence editorial decisions.
Pancreatic Research Supported By APCs
Waivers And Discounts
JPAN considers waivers for authors without adequate funding, particularly early career researchers and teams in resource-limited settings. Waiver requests are handled separately from peer review to preserve independence.
Institutional Support
Institutions can arrange APC coverage for departments or consortia. We provide invoices, purchase order documentation, and cost center references to simplify approvals and reporting.
Ethics And Independence
APC status never influences editorial decisions. Editors and reviewers assess manuscripts solely on scientific rigor, novelty, and clinical relevance for pancreatic care.
Billing Logistics
Invoices are issued after acceptance with flexible payment options for institutions and funders. Contact the editorial office for customized invoice language or grant requirements.
All submissions undergo rigorous peer review regardless of payment status. JPAN maintains strict editorial independence to protect scientific integrity.
JPAN invoices only after acceptance and never during review. Waiver requests are assessed separately from editorial decisions to preserve independence.
For funder or institutional requirements, we can provide itemized invoices and documentation to support compliance and reporting.
