Bone marrow biology is clinically urgent and methodologically complex. Open access accelerates translation by ensuring your work reaches hematologists, transplant teams, immunologists, and biotech innovators without subscription delays. This wider access improves collaboration, increases citations, and expands real world impact.
JBMB aligns open access with ethical publishing standards, clinical responsibility, and funding compliance. Many funders require immediate accessibility, and our model supports those mandates while safeguarding rigorous peer review.
Open access content is easier to discover, cite, and apply. JBMB optimizes every article with rich metadata, structured abstracts, and DOI registration to strengthen search visibility across scholarly platforms. This improves reach for authors and helps their work surface quickly when clinicians, researchers, and policy leaders search for evidence in bone marrow biology.
Visibility translates into measurable impact. With fewer access barriers, your findings can be referenced in clinical guidelines, laboratory protocols, and translational grant proposals. This expanded readership supports faster uptake and stronger citation performance, especially for interdisciplinary research that sits at the intersection of hematology, immunology, and regenerative medicine.
Publishing with JBMB signals a commitment to quality. Our APC supports integrity checks, reviewer governance, and responsible editorial decision making. We apply structured review criteria and maintain transparent communication throughout the process, helping authors navigate revisions efficiently while protecting the credibility of the scientific record.
JBMB is committed to equitable publishing. We offer waiver pathways to ensure that strong research is not limited by funding constraints.
- Editors and reviewers: Eligible editorial contributors may receive waivers up to 30%.
- Students: A flat APC of $540 USD is available with valid student identification.
- Low income regions: Partial or full waivers may be offered based on eligibility and need.

Many universities and funding bodies allow APCs as eligible research expenses. Institutional open access programs and library funds may also cover publication fees for eligible authors. If you need a formal quote or documentation for funder compliance, contact the editorial office in advance so we can support your reporting requirements.
APCs are requested only after a manuscript is accepted. The corresponding author or institution receives an invoice with payment instructions. We can support payment by credit card, wire transfer, or institutional purchase order to fit different funding workflows.
The APC is a single, transparent fee with no hidden charges and no additional costs for production or hosting.
If your institution requires a pro forma invoice or documentation for grant reporting, request support in advance at [email protected].
JBMB uses open access licensing to maximize reuse and citation. Accepted articles are published under Creative Commons terms to support scholarly sharing. Review the copyright and license policy for full details.
Withdrawal charges of 30% of the APC apply if a manuscript is withdrawn after 3 days from submission. This protects reviewer time and editorial resources. Please ensure your manuscript is ready for review before submission.
