Article Processing ChargesJournal of Endocrinology and Hormones
JEH provides open access publishing so endocrinology and hormone research can reach clinicians and scientists without barriers. Our APC model supports rigorous editorial review, production, and long term accessibility while keeping costs transparent.
APC Overview
The article processing charge (APC) is applied only after acceptance and supports the full publication workflow. There is no submission fee, and authors are never charged to submit or to revise a manuscript.
APCs help the journal maintain expert peer review, editorial coordination, ethical checks, metadata preparation, and digital preservation for clinical endocrinology and hormone science.
What the APC Supports
JEH invests APC funds into services that protect research quality and increase visibility for hormone and metabolic studies.
- Editorial screening for scope fit and methodological rigor
- Independent peer review management and decision support
- Crossref metadata preparation and article level updates
- Production checks for figures, tables, and reference accuracy
- Online hosting, archiving, and long term access
- Indexing support through structured metadata and sitemaps

Funding and Compliance
Many funders require open access publication and data availability statements. JEH supports these requirements by providing clear documentation and consistent policy language for endocrine studies.
APC Transparency
We publish the APC policy to help authors plan budgets and reduce uncertainty. Our goal is to sustain quality publishing while maintaining accessible routes for endocrine research teams.
Institutional Partnerships
If your institution is exploring publishing support or bulk arrangements, the editorial office can share options and documentation to assist with internal approvals.
APC and Editorial Independence
APC payments do not influence editorial decisions. Manuscripts are assessed on scientific quality, ethical compliance, and relevance to endocrine practice. Decisions remain independent of funding source or author institution.
Supporting Clinical Translation
APC funding sustains publication infrastructure that helps translate endocrine discoveries into practice. This includes clear presentation of methods, rigorous review, and accessibility for clinicians who rely on published evidence.
Payment Documentation
If you require pro forma invoices, grant documentation, or institutional billing assistance, contact the editorial office. We provide documentation that supports compliance with funder reporting and institutional finance processes.
Cost Planning for Research Teams
Plan APC coverage early in the project lifecycle so that publication is not delayed at acceptance. Many endocrine research grants include dissemination budgets, and early planning helps align timelines for clinical translation and public access.
Equity and Access
JEH aims to keep publishing accessible to researchers worldwide. If your project has limited funding or is based in a resource constrained setting, contact the editorial office to discuss possible support options and publishing pathways.
Archiving and Preservation
APCs also support digital preservation and long term access so endocrine evidence remains available for clinicians, educators, and policy teams. Stable hosting and metadata maintenance protect the scholarly record and improve citation longevity.
Transparency for Authors
We aim to keep APC communication clear throughout the process. Authors receive confirmation of charges, payment timing, and available support options, ensuring there are no surprises after acceptance.
No Hidden Fees
JEH does not charge for submission or peer review. APCs apply only after acceptance and are stated in advance to support predictable budgeting. If your funding status changes, contact us early. We respond quickly to funding questions promptly.
