The Journal of Non-Communicable Diseases and Care adopts a transparent and equitable publication fee policy designed to support the wide dissemination of high-quality research while ensuring accessibility for scholars across diverse economic backgrounds. The journal typically operates on an Article Processing Charge (APC) model, under which fees are applied only after the successful completion of a rigorous peer-review process and formal acceptance of the manuscript. Importantly, manuscript submission and initial evaluation are conducted free of cost, reflecting the journal’s commitment to academic inclusivity and merit-based assessment. The APC covers essential publishing services, including editorial processing, peer review management, professional formatting, digital object identification (DOI) assignment, and online open-access dissemination. In alignment with global ethical standards, the journal also offers flexible waiver and discount policies, particularly for researchers from low- and middle-income countries, early-career scholars, and authors lacking institutional funding. This balanced approach ensures both the sustainability of the journal’s operations and the promotion of equitable opportunities for knowledge sharing in the critical field of non-communicable diseases.
