Revenue Source Policy

The TMP Universal Journal of Dental Research and Health operates under a model that prioritizes open access and scientific integrity. To maintain its operations while offering free access to all its content, the journal relies on various revenue sources. This policy outlines the journal’s funding model and ensures transparency in how its revenue is generated.

Article Processing Charges (APCs)

  • No APCs: The journal does not charge authors any Article Processing Charges (APCs). This means there are no fees for manuscript submission, peer review, editing, or publication. All articles are published free of charge to ensure accessibility for authors from all backgrounds.

Advertisement Policy

  • No Advertisements: The journal does not accept any advertisements to maintain the integrity and independence of the editorial and peer review processes. This ensures that content is selected purely on its academic and scientific merit without commercial influence.

Membership Programs

  • Institutional Membership: The journal may partner with academic institutions to offer membership programs where institutions provide financial support to the journal in exchange for services or benefits such as discounts on supplementary services or sponsored content.
  • Individual Membership: While the journal does not charge fees for publication, it may offer optional membership programs to individual authors or readers, which provide additional benefits such as early access to certain features or special issues.

Ethical Considerations

  • Independence of Editorial Decisions: Regardless of revenue sources, all editorial decisions are made independently by the editorial team and peer reviewers, without any influence from sponsors, donors, or financial contributors.
  • Transparency and Accountability: All revenue sources will be disclosed to ensure transparency and accountability to authors, readers, and contributors.

Future Revenue Models

  • Exploration of New Models: As the publishing landscape evolves, the journal may explore additional non-traditional revenue models, such as partnerships with open-access platforms, publication networks, or innovative funding strategies that align with its mission.
