Waiver policy

Waivers are provided automatically when the corresponding author is from, but priority is given to corresponding authors from a “Group A” Research4Life program country. In cases of demonstrated financial hardship, the journal will consider a pre-submission application for a waiver from any corresponding author. Applications cannot be made after the peer review process has started.
