JMPHSS is a peer-reviewed journal with open access. Each peer-reviewed article is made freely available online immediately after publication and is published under a Creative Commons license. The journal's publication costs are covered by the collection of article processing charges, which are paid by the funder, institution, or author of each accepted manuscript. There are no fees associated with submitting a paper to the journal.

APC will only be paid after acceptance and have no guarantee or influence on the blind peer review process.

If, after peer review, your manuscript is accepted for publication by reviewers’ satisfaction and editor’s notification, then only a one-time Article Publication Charge (APC) is payable. This APC covers the cost of publication and ensures that your article will be freely available online in perpetuity under a Creative Commons license.

An Article Publication Charge (APC) of $100 USD (plus tax where applicable) will be payable on acceptance if the manuscript is accepted after peer review.
