Prepay Plans/Membership enables an individual or an organization to cover the whole cost of publishing for himself (individual) or their investigators (institutional) when publishing in our open access journals. No additional fees will be paid by individual authors. This is an advance payment system whereby customers pay upfront for accepted articles authored by their investigators to be processed and published. For example you can have a look at The International Arabic Journal of Antimicrobial Agents a journal supported by a sponsorship of The Arab Alliance for the Prudent Use of Antimicrobials or Acta Reumatologica supported by a sponsorship of Gebro.
