Journal Ownership and Publishing Services
The Atlantic Journal of Medical Science and Research is an open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journal.
Journal Owner: Esra Kayacan Erdoğan
Publisher: Biobilim
Publishing Services Provider: Effect Publishing Agency (EPA)
EPA provides technical and operational publishing services, including manuscript submission and tracking infrastructure, online publication systems, journal website services, DOI and metadata services, technical publication support, and digital archiving.
The journal maintains full editorial independence. Editorial decisions are made independently by the Editorial Board and are based on scientific quality, originality, ethical compliance, relevance to the journal’s scope, and adherence to journal policies.
Payment of any fee does not influence editorial or peer-review decisions.
Submission Fee
The publication fee policy of The Atlantic Journal of Medical Science and Research was revised effective October 10, 2026.
For manuscripts submitted on or after October 10, 2026, Submission Fee is required at the time of manuscript submission.
The applicable fee is:
11,000 TL for submissions from Türkiye
225 USD for international submissions
Authors must complete the payment during the manuscript submission process and upload the payment receipt to the relevant section of the online submission system.
Manuscripts submitted without a valid payment receipt will not be processed or taken into editorial evaluation.
Payment of the Article Submission Fee does not guarantee acceptance or publication of the manuscript.
Payment of the fee also does not provide priority in the publication schedule. Even if a manuscript is accepted, payment does not entitle the manuscript to early or expedited publication.
Editorial Evaluation and Scope
Before submitting a manuscript, authors are strongly advised to carefully review the journal’s Aims and Scope, Instructions for Authors, ethical requirements, and publication policies.
All submitted manuscripts undergo a preliminary editorial evaluation for suitability with the journal’s scope, scientific and structural requirements, ethical standards, and publication policies.
Manuscripts that fall outside the scope of the journal or are considered unsuitable for publication may be rejected by the Editorial Board without being sent for external peer review.
Payment of the Submission Fee does not create any obligation for the journal to send a manuscript for peer review or to accept it for publication.
Refund Policy
The Submission Fee is non-refundable.
No refund will be provided in cases of:
- editorial rejection;
- rejection following peer review; or
- withdrawal of the manuscript by the authors.
Authors are therefore advised to carefully review the journal’s scope, author guidelines, ethical requirements, and fee policy before completing the submission and payment.
Fee Waiver Policy
The journal applies a uniform and transparent fee policy.
No fee waivers or discounts are offered.
Use of Fees
The Submission Fee is not intended to generate commercial profit.
