Publication Fee Assistance Program (PFAP)

BMJ Open Quality Riphah Pakistan Edition is an open access journal. BMJ Open has generously offered a reduction of 55% in the original submission fee of 1000£, while Riphah International University believes that lack of funds should not be a barrier to Open Access publication. So, to facilitate the publication of research papers with high impact value, we are providing financial assistance through our Publication Fee Assistance Program (PFAP). PFAP will offer partial or complete financial assistance to the potential authors who are unable to afford the submission fee.

Eligibility Criteria to Apply for PFAP:

• PFAP will be provided to authors who are from low- or middle-income groups.
• The PFAP will not be provided if the research is funded.
• The manuscript submitted by the author should be accepted for publishing in our journal.
• Applicable for students

How to apply for PFAP:

• PFAP should be obtained before paying the manuscript publication fee.

• You will receive a confirmation email after your online application form is accepted.
• Screening of applications will be done by the editorial board members. The acceptance or rejection of the application will be based upon the decision of the editorial board members.
• The decision of the editorial board member will be notified to the applicant via email.
