Information for JSTM/ JAGH members
(Information updated on 22 March 2023)
The Japanese Society of Tropical Medicine covers the article-processing charge (APC) for the papers submitted by the member of the societies and for the papers invited by the journal. To receive this benefit, the JSTM/JAGH members and invited authors must claim the APC coverage at the time of editorial acceptance of their manuscript.
As from 22 March 2023, due to system change, authors are no longer requested to submit Membership Account Code to claim coverage of APC for society members/invited authors during the process of making new manuscript submission. Instead, members/invited authors are able to request APC coverage at editorial acceptance.
See below for further information:
- Changes in manuscript submission *(in Japanese)
- To request APC coverage for JSTM/ JAGH members
For questions, please contact the JSTM office or JAGH office.
