Membership
A structured membership experience for advancing computational and simulation-based research with clarity and affordability.
Journal of Model Based Research Membership
Designed for researchers, engineers, academics, and institutions committed to advancing modeling, simulation, and computational science.
The Journal of Model Based Research (JMBR) is an open access, peer reviewed journal for computational modeling, mathematical simulation, systems engineering, and data-driven research. Our membership program supports the community by lowering APC burdens and providing predictable publishing routes.
Membership suits universities, research institutes, engineering firms, and individual researchers. Funds support editorial operations, production quality, and long-term preservation across the publication lifecycle. Whether you focus on finite element analysis, agent-based modeling, or machine learning pipelines, JMBR membership provides structured support for research dissemination.
What membership supports: rigorous peer review coordination, methodology screening, professional production, and open access distribution for model-based research across engineering, physics, biology, and computational sciences.
Financial Predictability
Transform APCs into an annual plan, helping teams manage budgets while publishing quality research.
Scholarly Visibility
Open access distribution helps your modeling work reach engineers and collaborators worldwide.
Community Recognition
Membership includes a certificate acknowledging your commitment to modeling scholarship.
Membership supports a rigorous publication workflow rooted in computational transparency. The journal follows established guidance for model validation, simulation verification, and sensitivity analysis. Authors should include data availability statements and code repositories to enable replication. These expectations apply to all authors regardless of membership status.
Model Documentation
Clear specifications, parameter definitions, and validation datasets for reproducible research.
Reproducible Reporting
Structured methods, transparent parameters, and complete data availability statements.
Responsible Authorship
Author contributions, funding transparency, and conflict of interest disclosures.
