Article Processing Charge

All articles published in the Journal of Clinical and Forensic Traumatology (JCFT) are fully open access and freely available online immediately upon publication.
To cover the costs associated with editorial management, peer review, professional copyediting, typesetting, online hosting, indexing, long-term digital preservation, and journal administration, an Article Processing Charge (APC) of 300 EUR applies to manuscripts accepted after peer review.

The APC may be paid in euros (EUR), US dollars (USD), British pounds (GBP), or other major international currencies upon request.

Invoices are issued via email immediately after acceptance and are sent to the payment contact designated by the authors. Only invoices sent from the official editorial domain (@jcftjournal.com) or directly from Global Forensic Publishing are valid.
No third parties are authorized to collect APC payments on behalf of the journal.

Local VAT or sales tax may apply depending on the billing country.

Many national and institutional funding bodies, universities, and private research foundations support or reimburse APCs for publications arising from funded research projects. Authors are encouraged to verify local policies before submission.

Manuscripts must be submitted in good English and with clear, high-quality figures. Authors are responsible for addressing all peer-review comments and ensuring that the final version meets publication standards, as unresolved issues may lead to delays or rejection.

Professional English editing and figure revision services are available upon request through the Editorial Office (editor@jcftjournal.com).
Discounts may be available for authors affiliated with partner institutions or collaborating societies of Global Forensic Publishing.
