Article processing charges (APCs) support peer review coordination, editorial management, production, DOI registration, and long-term digital archiving. APCs are applied after acceptance and do not influence editorial decisions.

JTC is committed to transparency and affordability for thyroid cancer research communities.

• Editorial assessment and peer review management
• Copyediting, layout, and publication production

Authors from the World Bank classified as low-income and lower-middle-income countries may be eligible for partial APC waivers. Requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and must be submitted before acceptance.

Many endocrine oncology teams publish under grant or institutional mandates. Share funder requirements early so the editorial office can align invoicing and reporting needs.

• Provide grant identifiers and funding statements
• Confirm open access mandates or repository requirements
• Share billing contacts for institutional or funder payments
• Document any reporting deadlines tied to publication
• If your institution requires invoice language or grant identifiers, provide them before acceptance to avoid delays.
• APC receipts include journal name, manuscript title, and DOI reference for institutional reporting.
• Payment can be made by institutions, funders, or authors. Coordinate billing details early to streamline processing.
• Requests for partial waivers should be submitted before acceptance with supporting documentation.
• APCs support long-term digital preservation and open access distribution of thyroid cancer research.

To avoid delays, payments should be completed within 48 hours of invoice receipt. Publication proceeds after payment confirmation.
