We consider individual waiver requests for articles in IJMS journals on a case-by-case basis and they may be granted in cases of lack of funds. To apply for a waiver please request one during the submission process. A decision on the waiver will normally be made within two working days. Requests made during the review process or after acceptance will not be considered. 

We will provide a waiver or discount if you are based in a country that is classified by the World Bank as a low-income or a lower-middle-income economy.
